TMJ Treatment in Kennesaw, GA

Natural Relief for Jaw Pain, Headaches & Tension at Momentum Chiropractic

Are you dealing with jaw pain, clicking, popping, or chronic headaches that just won’t go away?

At Momentum Chiropractic, we help active women, moms, and athletes in Kennesaw and surrounding areas find natural relief from TMJ disorders using precise, extremity-focused chiropractic care.

If chewing hurts, your jaw feels tight, or you wake up with headaches — your TMJ may be the root cause.

What Is TMJ?

TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint — the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. You have one on each side of your face.

When this joint becomes irritated, misaligned, inflamed, or dysfunctional, it can lead to:

  • Jaw pain or soreness

  • Clicking or popping when opening the mouth

  • Locking of the jaw

  • Headaches (especially at the temples)

  • Ear pain or pressure

  • Neck tightness

  • Pain with chewing

  • Facial tension

  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)

TMJ dysfunction is often missed because symptoms don’t always stay in the jaw.

What Causes TMJ Problems?

TMJ dysfunction is rarely “just a jaw issue.” It is usually connected to:

  • Poor posture (especially forward head posture)

  • Neck misalignment

  • Stress and jaw clenching

  • Teeth grinding

  • Sports injuries

  • Hormonal changes

  • Previous trauma (even old injuries)

  • Poor bite mechanics

As an extremity specialist, we evaluate not just the jaw — but the entire kinetic chain, including the neck, shoulders, and upper spine.

Because the jaw doesn’t work alone.

How We Treat TMJ at Momentum Chiropractic

We use a natural, non-invasive approach focused on restoring alignment and reducing tension — without medication or surgery.

Your care plan may include:

1. Specific TMJ Adjustments

Gentle, precise adjustments to the jaw joint to restore proper motion.

2. Cervical Spine Alignment

The upper neck plays a major role in jaw mechanics. If the neck is off, the jaw compensates.

3. Extremity Adjusting

As specialists in extremity care, we assess surrounding joints that affect jaw function.

4. Muscle Release Techniques

Targeted soft tissue work to reduce tension in:

  • Masseter

  • Temporalis

  • Upper trapezius

  • Scalenes

5. Functional Medicine Insight (When Needed)

For patients dealing with chronic inflammation, stress overload, or hormonal shifts (common in busy moms), we may evaluate underlying contributors that keep TMJ flared.

Why Active Moms Struggle with TMJ

We see this often in women ages 30–45:

  • High stress

  • Clenching during workouts

  • Grinding at night

  • Hormonal fluctuations

  • Postpartum shifts

  • Forward head posture from working at computers or holding babies

TMJ is extremely common in women — especially those juggling family, fitness, and full schedules.

The good news? It’s highly treatable when approached correctly.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for TMJ

Patients often notice:

  • Reduced jaw pain

  • Fewer headaches

  • Less popping and clicking

  • Easier chewing

  • Better sleep

  • Decreased neck and shoulder tension

  • Improved posture

And because we address the root cause, not just symptoms, results are typically long-lasting.
