• Muscle tension from daily habits or chronic stress

How Chiropractic, Dry Needling, and Massage Can Help

At New Life Chiropractic, Dr. Mike Geheren uses a combination of chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, and therapeutic massage to relieve TMJ pain and restore normal jaw function.

• Chiropractic care focuses on correcting spinal and jaw misalignments that can contribute to TMJ tension.

• Dry needling targets trigger points in the jaw and neck muscles, reducing inflammation and relieving muscle spasms.

• Massage therapy helps release deep-seated tension in the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders to restore comfort and mobility.
