At Pro Motion Calgary, we see patients who have dealt with jaw pain for months or even years. They come to us when simple things like eating an apple or laughing with friends becomes painful. Our team helps people get back to enjoying meals, sleeping better, and living without that constant ache in their jaw.
Think of your jaw joint like the hinge on a car door. When the hinge gets worn or damaged, the door doesn’t open and close smoothly anymore. Your jaw joint can have similar problems that cause pain and make it hard to move your jaw normally.
Genetics – Some people are born with jaw shapes that make TMJ problems more likely.
Diet – Eating hard or chewy foods can put extra stress on your jaw joints.
Arthritis – Joint inflammation can affect your jaw just like other joints in your body.
Jaw injury – Getting hit in the face or jaw during sports or accidents can damage the joint.
Stress and habits – Many people clench or grind their teeth when they’re stressed. This puts a lot of pressure on the jaw muscles and joints.
What we do know is that grinding and clenching teeth (called bruxism) can contribute to TMJ issues. But not everyone who grinds their teeth will develop jaw problems. Your body’s unique makeup plays a big role in whether you’ll have TMJ pain.
Most TMJ pain gets better with conservative care. Surgery is rarely needed and only considered after other treatments haven’t worked.
When you come to Pro Motion Calgary for TMJ jaw pain treatment, we start with a detailed assessment. We want to understand:
Our chiropractors, physiotherapists, and other healthcare providers work together to create a treatment plan that fits your needs.
Manual therapy – Gentle hands-on techniques to improve jaw movement and reduce muscle tension. Exercise therapy – Specific exercises to strengthen jaw muscles and improve flexibility. Stress management – Techniques to help you manage stress that might be contributing to jaw clenching. Education – Learning about habits that might make your TMJ pain worse and how to change them. Lifestyle changes – Simple changes to your daily routine that can reduce jaw stress.
Based on what we find, we’ll explain what might be causing your TMJ pain and discuss treatment options. We believe in keeping you informed about your condition and involving you in decisions about your care.
Treatment usually involves regular appointments where we use different techniques to help reduce your pain and improve your jaw function. We’ll also teach you exercises and techniques you can do at home.
Our location is convenient for people living in:
We’re right next to Southcentre Mall and across from the Anderson LRT station, making it easy to get to us by car or transit.
Our clinic brings together different healthcare providers who work as a team. We offer Physiotherapy in SE Calgary , Chiropractic , Massage Therapy , Acupuncture, Naturopathy , Osteopathy, Counselling, and Pelvic Health services all under one roof.
This means if your TMJ pain is connected to neck problems, stress, or other health issues, we can address those too. We don’t just treat your jaw – we look at your whole body and life to find the best approach for your situation.
Our practitioners understand that TMJ pain affects more than just your jaw. It can impact your sleep, your ability to eat, your work, and your relationships. We take all of these factors into account when planning your treatment.
We also know that every person responds differently to treatment. What works great for one patient might not be the best choice for another. That’s why we customize our approach based on your specific needs and goals.
Calgary’s dry climate and cold winters can sometimes make jaw pain worse. When the weather changes, some people notice their TMJ symptoms get more intense. Our team understands these local factors and can help you manage symptoms throughout the year.
We also know that busy Calgary lifestyles can contribute to stress and jaw clenching. Whether you’re dealing with work pressure, traffic, or family responsibilities, we can help you find ways to reduce the impact of stress on your jaw.
Don’t let jaw pain control your life. Simple activities like eating, talking, and laughing should be comfortable and enjoyable.
