TMJ & Tinnitus Clinic at Posture Dynamics
Specialist Treatment for Jaw Pain, Tinnitus & Related Conditions
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) dysfunction and tinnitus can cause persistent pain, discomfort, and difficulty with jaw movement, chewing, and even hearing. These conditions often result from muscle tension, joint dysfunction, posture imbalances, and nervous system sensitivity.
At Posture Dynamics, our specialist TMJ & Tinnitus Clinic takes a holistic osteopathic approach to identify and address the underlying causes of your symptoms. By improving jaw function, reducing muscle tension, and restoring balance to the surrounding structures, we help relieve pain and discomfort while improving overall well-being.
What is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds in the ears without an external source. It can be constant or intermittent and may vary in intensity. While tinnitus itself is not a disease, it is often a symptom of underlying issues such as muscle tension, nerve irritation, or circulatory changes.
One of the lesser-known causes of tinnitus is dysfunction in the jaw (TMJ) and neck. Tight jaw and neck muscles, misalignment of the jaw, or postural strain can put pressure on nerves and blood vessels connected to the inner ear, leading to tinnitus symptoms. This is why an osteopathic approach that targets the jaw, neck, and overall posture can be effective in reducing or managing tinnitus.
Common Symptoms of TMJ Dysfunction & Tinnitus
- Jaw pain or clicking – Pain when chewing, yawning, or talking
- Tension headaches & facial pain – Tightness in the jaw, temples, and neck
- Ear pain, fullness, or ringing (tinnitus) – Often linked to jaw or neck tension
- Clenching or grinding (bruxism) – Can lead to tooth sensitivity and jaw fatigue
- Neck & shoulder tension – Postural strain can contribute to TMJ dysfunction
- Dizziness & balance issues – Jaw tension can impact the inner ear
Many of these symptoms are interconnected, and our osteopathic approach helps address both the jaw and the surrounding structures, such as the neck, spine, and cranial system, to provide long-lasting relief.
