Women's Health and Wellness Acupuncture Treatment for Temporomandibular Joint Pain (TMJ) or Jaw Pain at Central Earth Healing, Cupping & Massage
A Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in 'Honolulu, HI.
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain is a common and frequently bothersome condition that impacts the jaw joint and the muscles involved in jaw movement.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most essential and complex joints in the body, responsible for the smooth movement of the jaw. It allows you to open and close your mouth effortlessly for everyday activities like speaking, chewing, and yawning.
TMJ issues can cause discomfort, stiffness, and pain in the jaw, face, and neck, often leading to headaches and difficulty with everyday activities like chewing, speaking, or yawning. Common symptoms include jaw pain, limited movement when opening or closing the mouth, and clicking or popping sounds during jaw motion.
In addition to enabling jaw movement, the TMJ also serves as a natural shock absorber, protecting the jaw’s bones and cartilage from impact and long-term wear. Those experiencing TMJ pain often turn to mouth guards, physical therapy, or medication for relief. However, a natural and highly effective alternative is available—acupuncture treatment for TMJ pain at OAHU ACUPUNCTURE CLINIC.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain can stem from a combination of physical, emotional, and behavioral factors. This joint connects the jawbone to the skull and plays a key role in functions like chewing, speaking, and yawning.
When the joint or its surrounding muscles are compromised, it can lead to pain or limited function. Some of the most common causes include:
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain can result from a variety of physical and emotional factors. Chronic jaw clenching or teeth grinding—known as bruxism—is often triggered by stress or misaligned teeth and puts excessive pressure on the joint and surrounding muscles, leading to inflammation. Emotional stress can contribute to habits like clenching or poor posture, which lead to muscle fatigue and tension around the jaw.
Disc displacement within the TMJ may cause popping, clicking, or restricted jaw movement when the disc slips out of place. Overuse of the jaw muscles through gum chewing, nail-biting, or wide yawning can lead to strain, and poor posture—particularly from prolonged desk work—can misalign the jaw and increase TMJ tension.
At OAHU Acupuncture Clinic in ʻAiea, Honolulu, we offer effective acupuncture treatments for Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) pain and TMJ disorders. Our approach helps relax tight jaw muscles, reduce muscle spasms, and promote natural healing for long-term relief.
Temporomandibular Joint Pain (TMJ) Disorder Symptoms:
Pain or tenderness around the jaw, ears or temples
A headache near the temples
An inability to move your jaw properly and it may even lock when you open your mouth
Difficulty chewing or pain when eating
Grinding, popping or clicking sounds when you move your jaw
Facial pain
Toothache
Tinnitus (continual ringing or buzzing in the ear)
At OAHU Acupuncture Clinic, we’ve supported many patients in achieving lasting relief from chronic jaw tension, TMJ-related pain, and frequent headaches. Acupuncture provides a gentle, non-invasive treatment that helps relax tense muscles, reduce inflammation, and restore the body’s natural balance—key elements in relieving TMJ discomfort and promoting long-term healing.
