From Injury to Performance

What Is TMJ Dysfunction?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull, allowing you to talk, chew, and yawn.
Pain or clicking in this area often comes from muscle tension, clenching or grinding, stress, or imbalances in neck and jaw movement.
TMJ dysfunction can cause pain locally or refer into the head, face, and neck — often leading to headaches or ear discomfort.

At Summit Osteo & Performance, we take a holistic approach to relieve tension, improve jaw mechanics, and restore balanced movement.
