Jaw Pain
Can Chiropractic help with my jaw pain?
Specifically, misalignments in the upper cervical spine, such as the atlas, can affect the function of the trigeminal nerve, which is the primary nerve responsible for sensation in the face and motor function of the jaw muscles. Compression or irritation of the trigeminal nerve due to atlas misalignments can lead to symptoms such as jaw pain, stiffness, and difficulty with chewing.
Advanced HIO Knee Chest upper cervical chiropractic focuses on correcting these misalignments in the atlas vertebra, thereby reducing pressure on the trigeminal nerve and restoring proper nerve function. By addressing the underlying neurological factors contributing to jaw pain, this form of chiropractic care can help alleviate discomfort and improve jaw mobility.
