Temporomandibular joint physiotherapy
At our Center, we perform temporomandibular joint manual therapy services.
The temporomandibular joints are part of the musculoskeletal system and are the most commonly used joints in the body; they are involved in speaking, biting, chewing food, yawning, swallowing saliva and expressing emotions.
Temporomandibular joint treatment involves treating the underlying cause and bad habits – parafunction. Temporomandibular joint physiotherapy treatments aim to eliminate, reduce pain, restore normal muscle and joint function, and snapping and blocking when opening the mouth.

- earache, tinnitus,
- grinding, clenching of teeth
