You might feel it while chewing steak or gum, yawning, talking, or just opening your mouth. Jaw pain can be downright debilitating and affect many aspects of daily life. The impact is often felt throughout your day. For many, this pain stems from clenching their teeth at night or storing stress and tension in the jaw. But did you know that tension in your neck could be the root cause?

Common Symptoms of Jaw Pain

Jaw pain is often more than just discomfort while chewing. Other common symptoms include difficulty with any jaw movement, a tight feeling in the jaw, and even headaches that stem from tension stored in the neck and upper spine.

Many patients who come in with jaw pain often don’t realize that the tension in their jaw is related to stress and tension stored in their upper neck. When we experience stress or trauma, this tension builds up in the upper spine, creating disruption in nerve communication, which in turn causes the jaw muscles to misfire. This is why you might experience chronic tension and pain in the jaw.

Our Approach to Relieving Jaw Pain

NetworkSpinal care—the latest evolution of Network Spinal Analysis—focuses on reducing stress and tension stored in the nervous system. Tension in the upper neck can disrupt the communication between the brainstem and jaw muscles. By addressing this root cause, chiropractic adjustments help to restore proper nerve communication, allowing the jaw muscles to relax and heal.

Our chiropractors activate specific nerve receptors along the spinal cord and nerves during treatment. This improves the nervous system’s ability to release tension in the jaw and upper neck. Over time, this leads to better overall function and less jaw pain. We aim to do more than alleviate tension temporarily; our goal is to train the nervous system to process stress reactions in a much healthier way.

What to Expect During Treatment

If you’re experiencing jaw pain and seek chiropractic care, your first visit will involve an in-depth evaluation. The chiropractor will assess the physical, emotional, and even chemical components contributing to your pain. You’ll also learn about how your posture and stress reactions impact your nervous system and what steps can be taken to support healing.

Some patients notice relief after just one session, while others may need several treatments depending on how long the pain has been present. Every patient’s journey is unique, but chiropractic care is focused on providing long-lasting results by addressing the underlying cause of the tension.

When to Seek Professional Treatment

Jaw pain, like any other type of pain, is your body’s way of signaling that something is wrong. If you are experiencing persistent discomfort in your jaw, whether it’s due to stress, teeth grinding, or other causes, it’s essential to seek professional treatment sooner rather than later. Chiropractic care is safe for people of all ages, including children and teenagers, and can help alleviate jaw pain in a natural, non-invasive way.
