TMJ & Jaw Pain Treatment in Surrey, BC
Clicking, locking, aching — jaw problems wear you down through every meal and conversation. Physiotherapy has a real role here.
← All conditions
What it feels like
- Jaw clicking, popping or locking when you chew or yawn
- Aching in the jaw, temples or around the ear
- Headaches and neck tension that travel with it — often worse in stressful, clenchy weeks
Why it happens
The temporomandibular joint works thousands of times a day. Clenching and grinding, stress, neck posture, dental changes or a knock to the jaw can all irritate the joint and the muscles that drive it — and the neck is involved more often than not.
How we can help
We start by understanding what's actually driving your jaw pain — the joint, the surrounding muscles, the neck, or a combination — since that shapes the right approach for you. Your practitioner tailors a care plan to your specific presentation, and coordinates with your dentist when a dental factor is part of the picture.
Most extended health plans cover treatment, and we direct bill — including ICBC and WorkSafeBC claims. Unsure where to start? Call to book a free 15-minute phone consult.
