Jaw Pain (TMJ) Care in London
Personalised Chiropractic Care for Jaw Pain (TMJ) in London
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect the jaw to the skull. Problems can cause pain in front of the ear, clicking, difficulty opening wide, jaw locking and headaches.
I’m Dr Ida Norgaard, a chiropractor at Inc-Health in central London. I assess the jaw together with the neck and upper back, because tension in these areas often goes hand in hand with jaw symptoms. See also our headache page and neck pain page.

Understanding Jaw Pain (TMJ)
Common Causes of Jaw Pain and TMJ Problems
TMJ symptoms can follow teeth grinding or clenching, stress, dental work, injury, arthritis or a bite change. Muscle tension in the jaw, neck and shoulders often plays a part.
Chiropractic care may help to ease muscle tension and joint stiffness in the jaw and neck, alongside advice on habits such as clenching. Persistent problems often benefit from input from a dentist or specialist as well.
Clear, personalised care for jaw pain (tmj)
Every jaw pain consultation starts with listening and a thorough assessment of your jaw, neck and posture, followed by clear advice on your next steps.

How We Help
How Can a Chiropractor Help With Jaw Pain (TMJ)?
I take a detailed history and examine the jaw, neck, upper back and posture. Treatment, where appropriate, may include gentle soft tissue work around the jaw and neck, joint mobilisation, and exercises and habit advice.
I work alongside your dentist rather than replacing them. If I suspect a dental, joint or other cause that needs a different kind of care, I will refer you.
Treatment is non-surgical and drug-free, and your response is reviewed as we go. If your symptoms need further investigation, Dr Norgaard will refer you.

Jaw Pain (TMJ) Symptoms
Jaw Clicking, Locking and Facial Pain
Common symptoms include an aching jaw, pain in front of the ear, clicking or popping when you chew, jaw locking, headaches and earache with no sign of infection.
Soft foods, avoiding wide yawning and chewing gum, relaxing the jaw and warmth can ease symptoms while you are being assessed. If the jaw is locked after an injury, or pain comes with chest pain, seek urgent help. See also posture care.
Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Jaw Pain (TMJ)
Can a chiropractor help with TMJ pain?
Chiropractic care may help to ease muscle tension and stiffness in the jaw and neck. Some cases also need a dentist or specialist, and I will advise you.
What causes jaw clicking?
Clicking can come from the disc inside the joint moving over the jaw bone. It is common and only a problem if it is painful or the jaw locks.
Is teeth grinding linked to jaw pain?
Yes. Clenching and grinding overload the jaw muscles and joint. Your dentist may suggest a night guard.
Can neck problems cause jaw pain?
Neck tension can refer pain to the jaw and head, and jaw tension can affect the neck. I assess both.
When should I seek urgent help?
Seek help if the jaw is locked after an injury, if swelling comes with fever, or if jaw pain comes with chest pain or breathlessness.
What happens at a first jaw pain (tmj) appointment?
Dr Norgaard takes a detailed history, examines you, explains what she finds and discusses a personalised plan that may include hands-on treatment, exercises and advice. The first visit lasts 45 to 60 minutes. See your first visit.
How many sessions will I need for jaw pain (tmj)?
This depends on your symptoms, how long you have had them and how you respond to care. Dr Norgaard explains what to expect after your assessment and reviews your progress as you go.
How much does a chiropractor cost in London?
An initial consultation of 45 to 60 minutes costs £160 and follow-up sessions of 20 to 30 minutes cost £90. You receive a receipt after every visit. See our chiropractor prices and book directly, with no GP referral needed.
