Have you been struggling to open and close your mouth because of TMJ disorder? Has it been months since you enjoyed eating crunchy food or talking to someone for long hours?

How to Move Forward: Get Your Spinal Alignment Checked by a Redwood City Chiropractic Doctor for TMJ Pain

When you have the red flags we listed above, be sure to speak with your TMJ doctor. You might also want to schedule an appointment with Dr. Pete Tsiglieries. He can help you check if your inflamed temporomandibular joint has something to do with previous head and neck injuries. 

The sheer force from incidents like whiplash and concussions can damage the connective tissues supporting the atlas and axis bones. This leads to neck bone misalignments that impact various structures like the TMJ. So, make sure to consult with Dr. Pete to find out how you can eliminate your symptoms with the help of gentle Upper Cervical Chiropractic adjustments.
