TMJ Dysfunction Treatment in Midtown Manhattan

Looking for TMJ dysfunction treatment in Midtown Manhattan? Dr. Jeffrey Rosenberg uses Active Release Technique (ART), Graston Technique, and personalized chiropractic care to help address jaw pain, headaches, neck pain, muscle tension, and TMJ dysfunction.

TMJ Dysfunction Treatment in Midtown Manhattan

If you’re experiencing jaw pain, clicking or popping when you chew, headaches, facial pain, or difficulty opening your mouth, you may be suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.

At Rosenberg Wellness Center, Dr. Jeffrey Rosenberg provides personalized chiropractic care for professionals, executives, athletes, and commuters throughout Midtown Manhattan. Treatment focuses on identifying the muscles and soft tissues that may be contributing to TMJ dysfunction while evaluating the relationship between the jaw, neck, and upper cervical spine.

Rather than masking symptoms, treatment is designed to help improve mobility, reduce muscle tension, and support normal jaw function using conservative, non-surgical techniques.

What Is TMJ Dysfunction?

The temporomandibular joints connect your lower jaw to your skull and allow you to speak, chew, yawn, and open your mouth comfortably.
 
When the muscles, ligaments, or joint become irritated or restricted, you may develop TMJ dysfunction.
 
Common symptoms include:
 
  • Jaw pain or tenderness
  • Clicking, popping, or grinding in the jaw
  • Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
  • Headaches
  • Facial pain
  • Ear pain or a feeling of pressure
  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Muscle tightness around the jaw and temples

Why Midtown Manhattan Professionals Frequently Experience TMJ Dysfunction

Many professionals working near Bryant Park, Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, Park Avenue, and throughout Midtown Manhattan spend long hours working under deadlines while sitting at a computer.
 
Stress frequently contributes to:
  • Jaw clenching
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Tight neck muscles
  • Forward head posture
  • Shoulder tension
Over time, these repetitive stresses may contribute to muscle tightness and altered movement of the jaw.

Our Approach to TMJ Dysfunction Treatment

Every patient receives an individualized examination to determine the factors that may be contributing to their symptoms.
 
Depending on your findings, treatment may include a combination of:
  • Active Release Technique® (ART)
  • Graston Technique® (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization)
  • Chiropractic care when appropriate
  • Soft tissue therapy
  • Movement and posture recommendations
Treatment recommendations are always based on your examination findings and individual needs.

Active Release Technique® for TMJ Dysfunction

Active Release Technique (ART) is a hands-on soft tissue treatment that focuses on muscles, tendons, fascia, and other soft tissue structures that may become tight or restricted.

For patients with TMJ dysfunction, ART may be used to address muscles associated with jaw movement as well as surrounding muscles of the neck and upper shoulders that may contribute to tension.

Many patients also experience headaches and neck pain along with TMJ dysfunction, making treatment of the surrounding soft tissues an important part of care.

Graston Technique® for TMJ Dysfunction

Graston Technique is an instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique designed to help improve tissue mobility and address soft tissue restrictions.

When appropriate, Graston Technique may be incorporated into treatment plans to improve soft tissue mobility in the muscles that influence jaw movement and cervical function.

This conservative approach may help reduce muscle tension while improving overall movement.

The Connection Between Your Neck and Jaw

The muscles of the neck, jaw, shoulders, and upper back work together.

When the neck becomes restricted or muscles become excessively tight, normal jaw mechanics may also be affected.

For this reason, Dr. Rosenberg evaluates the entire region rather than focusing solely on the jaw itself.
