Orofacial physiotherapy
What is orofacial physical therapy?
Do you have occasional jaw, head or neck pain with no apparent cause? Then orofacial physical therapy may be for you. It treats complaints caused by jaw problems, teeth grinding, headaches or even sleepiness during the night, for example.
Our mouth and jaw are more than just a place to eat and talk. They play an important role in your posture, breathing and overall health. Therefore, symptoms such as jaw pain, not being able to open your mouth properly, or a sore neck can often have a broader cause.
What does orofacial physical therapy do for you?
Our specialized orofacial physical therapist examines the entire face and the function of your jaw joint. He uses various techniques such as manual therapy, exercises for muscle relaxation and strengthening, and posture training to address underlying problems.
Whether you suffer from:
- Jaw pain or tension
- Headache or migraine due to muscle tension
- Pain in the neck or shoulders
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
