Chiropractic Care for TMJ and Jaw Pain in Rhode Island
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can cause significant pain and discomfort in the jaw, making it difficult to chew, speak, or open your mouth entirely. TMJ pain often results from tension, misalignment, or inflammation in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. DeCrescenzo Chiropractic offers non-invasive treatments to relieve TMJ pain, restore jaw function, and promote long-term relief. Our chiropractic care focuses on addressing the root causes of your TMJ pain and improving overall function.
Common Causes of TMJ and Jaw Pain
TMJ and jaw pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Jaw Misalignment: Misalignment in the temporomandibular joint can cause pain and difficulty moving the jaw.
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Chronic grinding or teeth clenching can pressure the jaw joint, leading to inflammation and discomfort.
- Muscle Tension: Stress or muscle tension in the jaw, neck, or shoulders can contribute to TMJ pain.
- Arthritis: Inflammation of the TMJ joint due to arthritis can cause stiffness, pain, and difficulty opening the mouth.
- Jaw Injury: Trauma to the jaw or face can lead to long-term TMJ pain and dysfunction.

Class IV Hot Laser Therapy
Class IV Hot Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that uses high-intensity laser energy to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation in the extremities. The laser energy penetrates deep into the tissues, increasing blood circulation and promoting cellular regeneration. This can help reduce pain, numbness, and tingling associated with various extremity conditions.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is an advanced treatment option that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in the extremities. The sound waves create microtrauma in the affected tissues, triggering the body's natural healing response. This can help break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and promote the growth of new blood vessels, leading to long-term pain relief.
