TMJ Dysfunction: Relieving Jaw Pain with Expert Care This Fall

Khairunnisa Hemani • October 21, 2025

Are you struggling with jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty chewing? You may be dealing with TMJ dysfunction—a common but treatable condition. At Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab, with clinics in Dundas and Central Parkway, we offer specialized TMJ care to help Mississauga residents enjoy life pain-free again.


Understanding TMJ Dysfunction: Symptoms and Causes


The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts as a hinge connecting your jawbone to your skull. When this essential joint becomes inflamed, misaligned, or overused, it can cause a range of symptoms that impact your comfort and well-being.


Common signs of TMJ dysfunction include:


- Jaw pain or tenderness, especially when chewing

- Clicking, popping, or grinding noises when moving the jaw

- Difficulty opening or closing the mouth fully

- Headaches, earaches, or neck pain

- Facial pain or swelling


TMJ dysfunction can result from a variety of factors, including jaw injuries, arthritis, dental misalignment, habitual teeth grinding (bruxism), or even heightened stress—something many of us experience as we transition into the busy fall season.


Why Seek Professional Help for TMJ Dysfunction in Mississauga?


Ignoring TMJ pain can lead to chronic discomfort, disrupted sleep, and even further joint complications. As a leading provider of physiotherapy and rehabilitation in Mississauga, Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab uses evidence-based treatments tailored to address both the root causes and symptoms of TMJ dysfunction.


Our TMJ treatment programs are available at both our Dundas and Central Parkway clinics, making expert care easily accessible for residents in all corners of Mississauga.


Personalized TMJ Dysfunction Treatment at Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab


Our holistic approach to TMJ dysfunction combines advanced physiotherapy techniques with hands-on, compassionate care. When you visit Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab, your specialized treatment plan may include:


- In-depth assessment: A comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause and extent of your TMJ dysfunction.

- Manual therapy: Gentle mobilization and soft tissue techniques to alleviate joint restriction and muscle tension in the jaw, neck, and shoulders.

- Targeted exercises: Personalized exercises to improve jaw mobility, strengthen supporting muscles, and restore normal function.

- Relaxation strategies: Guidance on stress reduction, posture improvement, and at-home self-management practices.

- Education: Detailed information on habits to avoid, dietary adjustments, and preventive measures to minimize flare-ups.


For some clients, adjunct therapies such as acupuncture, massage therapy, or chiropractic care can further accelerate recovery and manage residual pain. Our interdisciplinary team collaborates to ensure you receive the best possible care for TMJ-related symptoms at either our Dundas or Central Parkway locations.
