The jaw is one of the most active joints in the human body that can cause seemingly sudden pain or discomfort.

We clench and grind our jaws, or even push our tongues forward against our teeth without noticing. TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint which is responsible for the daily functions of your jaw such as opening and closing. Dysfunction here can cause jaw pain, decreased mobility, neck pain, and even headaches.

Summit Physical Therapy's highly trained physical therapists are experienced in TMJ rehabilitation. Our therapists see how discomforting and debilitating TMJ can be for people and we utilize therapies, exercises, and special techniques to help you find relief.

A lot of tension and stress is stored in our jaw and facial area. Our skilled specialist will work with you to form a comprehensive treatment plan that may include manual therapy, jaw-specific exercises, treatment of the neck, relaxation exercises, and modalities such as ice, heat, and electric stimulation to find the relief that you need.

We make it easy to receive the care that you need.

No Referral Needed

Direct access creates fewer steps between your pain and receiving the care that you need. Studies have shown that those who sought direct access from a physical therapist, rather than visiting your primary care doctor, found greater satisfaction and used significantly fewer pharmaceuticals than in the care of their physician. At your first visit, you’ll gain direct access to a physical therapist, speeding up the time between your first contact with a medical professional, and your return to improved health. During your first visit, an injury screening is offered to ensure you receive the best recommendation for your care.
