TMJ & Jaw Disorder Relief with Trusted Chiropractic Solutions
TMJ Relief Through Chiropractic Care
Dr. Dale Kimberlin, Kimberlin Chiropractic Health Systems
TMJ disorder affects the joint connecting your jaw to your skull, causing pain in the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders that can significantly impact daily life. Chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive solution through gentle techniques that focus on spinal and jaw alignment to relieve pressure on the temporomandibular joint. Combined with treatments like cold laser therapy, patients can find effective relief from TMJ symptoms and restore proper jaw function.

Understanding TMJ Disorder
Your temporomandibular joint acts like a sliding hinge that lets you chew, talk, and yawn—when it malfunctions due to grinding, clenching, arthritis, or injury, pain can radiate from your jaw through your face and neck. Without treatment, occasional discomfort often progresses into chronic pain that disrupts daily activities.
Common TMJ Symptoms
- Jaw pain/tenderness
- Difficulty chewing
- Clicking/popping when opening the mouth
- Jaw locking
- Headaches/migraines
