Living with constant jaw pain, clicking, or headaches? Temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction affects up to 30 % of people at any moment, yet few realise how effectively targeted physiotherapy can restore comfort. At Renaissance Physio in Etobicoke, ON, our TMJ-focused physiotherapists help you eat, speak, and smile again—minus the pain.


Why Does TMJ Dysfunction Hurt So Much?

Your TMJ is a complex hinge where the temporal bone meets the mandible. Displaced discs, muscle spasms from nighttime clenching, or poor desk posture can all throw this tiny joint off balance, triggering:

  • Jaw clicking or grinding

  • Locking or limited mouth opening

  • Facial and neck pain

  • Headaches and earaches

  • Difficulty chewing, biting, or singing
