Did you know that jaw pain and neck pain are often connected? The jaw, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ), shares muscles and nerves with the neck, meaning tension or dysfunction in one area can easily affect the other.
When the jaw is misaligned or under stress — from teeth grinding, poor posture, or stress-related clenching — the muscles in the neck often overcompensate. This can lead to muscle tightness, headaches, and even restricted neck movement. Similarly, neck strain from hunching over a desk or looking down at your phone can place pressure on the jaw.
Osteopathy takes a holistic approach, looking at how the jaw, neck, and surrounding structures work together. Through gentle hands-on techniques, we help release muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and restore balance between the jaw and neck.
If you’re experiencing jaw discomfort, neck stiffness, or frequent headaches, osteopathy could be a natural and effective solution. Don’t let these interconnected issues impact your daily life — book a session with us and start feeling the relief.
