Understanding TMJ Dysfunction

TMJ dysfunction refers to a range of issues associated with the jaw joint and the muscles controlling its movement. Symptoms can include pain in the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders; difficulty chewing; and clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw. Many factors can contribute to TMJ dysfunction, including stress, teeth grinding, poor posture, and even arthritis. At Kingsway Physical Therapy, our skilled therapists perform comprehensive evaluations to identify the root causes of your discomfort and create personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.

Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Complex Condition

Trigeminal Neuralgia is characterized by sudden, severe facial pain that can be triggered by everyday activities such as eating, talking, or even light touch. This condition occurs when the trigeminal nerve, responsible for transmitting sensations from the face to the brain, becomes irritated or damaged. The pain can be debilitating, making it essential to seek effective treatment options. Our experienced team at Kingsway Physical Therapy employs various techniques to help manage and alleviate the symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia, improving our patients’ overall well-being.
