Jaw pain rarely exists in isolation. TMJ symptoms can involve the jaw joints, chewing muscles, neck, posture, breathing habits, clenching, sleep, stress, and the way your nervous system holds tension.
Andrew Maillet provides focused osteopathic TMJ care at Naturology Centre in Moncton for people dealing with jaw pain, TMJ dysfunction, bruxism, headaches, neck tension, and related stress patterns.
Common TMJ and jaw concerns
- Jaw pain, facial tension, or sore chewing muscles
- Clenching, grinding, bruxism, or morning jaw fatigue
- TMJ clicking, popping, catching, or restricted opening
- Headaches, temple pressure, neck tension, or shoulder guarding
- Stress-related jaw holding patterns or symptoms that flare during busy periods
How osteopathic TMJ care works
Osteopathic assessment looks at how the jaw, neck, upper back, breathing mechanics, and soft tissues are working together. Treatment may include gentle hands-on techniques, movement assessment, education, and simple home strategies to reduce unnecessary guarding.
The goal is to improve comfort, mobility, awareness, and function. Care is adapted to your sensitivity and does not need to be forceful to be useful.
Why stress and the nervous system matter
Many people clench or hold tension without noticing it. When the nervous system is under strain, the jaw can become part of the body’s bracing pattern. TMJ care may therefore include practical nervous-system strategies, breathing awareness, or referral back to clinical hypnotherapy and HRV Biofeedback when stress regulation is a major driver.
What to expect at your appointment
Your visit includes a focused history, assessment of jaw and neck movement, discussion of triggers, and hands-on care where appropriate. You may also receive practical suggestions for awareness, pacing, sleep positioning, or reducing load on the jaw between visits.
If symptoms suggest a dental, medical, or urgent concern, you will be encouraged to involve the appropriate provider. Osteopathic care does not replace dental assessment for bite, appliance, infection, or structural dental concerns.
