TMJ & jaw pain — Roseville, CA

TMJ and jaw pain care in Roseville, CA.

TMJ disorder (TMD) is pain or dysfunction in the jaw joint and the muscles that move it — clicking, aching, limited opening, or headaches around the temples. Because the jaw joint works together with the upper neck, Dr. Jared Thomas evaluates both. Your first visit in Roseville is $60 and includes the consultation, exam, and first adjustment.

Signs of a TMJ problem

  • Clicking, popping, or grating when you open or chew
  • Jaw ache in front of the ear, sometimes on one side
  • Headaches around the temples, or ear fullness with no infection
  • Jaw locking, catching, or a limited opening
  • Morning soreness from night-time clenching or grinding

What tends to drive it

  • Clenching and grinding, often stress-related
  • Upper-neck joint restriction referring pain into the jaw and head
  • Chewing habits on one side, or long dental appointments
  • Past trauma to the jaw or a whiplash injury
  • Forward head posture from long screen hours

How we evaluate TMJ in the office

We assess the jaw joint's motion and the upper cervical spine together, because neck mechanics frequently feed jaw symptoms. Care is conservative and coordinated — if the primary driver is dental or a bite issue, we say so and work alongside your dentist.

Jaw motion, muscle, and upper-neck examination

Gentle chiropractic care for the upper cervical spine

Soft-tissue work for the masseter, temporalis, and neck muscles

Clenching, posture, and chewing-habit coaching

Coordination with your dentist when a splint or bite work is indicated

When to seek urgent care instead

Chiropractic is not the right first stop for everything. Get medical care right away if you have any of these:

  • Jaw that locks fully open or closed and will not move
  • Jaw pain with chest pressure, arm pain, or shortness of breath — call 911
  • Facial swelling, fever, or a dental abscess
  • New jaw pain after a significant blow to the face or head

Questions from Roseville patients

Who treats TMJ in Roseville?

TMJ care is often shared between dentists and conservative providers. Thomas Chiropractic evaluates the jaw joint together with the upper neck, and refers to a dentist when a splint or bite issue is the main driver.

Can chiropractic help TMJ?

Conservative care aimed at the jaw muscles and upper cervical spine can help many people with muscle-driven TMD. It is not a substitute for dental treatment when the cause is dental.

What does the first TMJ visit cost?

$60, which includes the consultation, exam, and first adjustment. Ongoing care runs on flat-rate monthly plans starting at $120.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book online or call 916-780-1370. We are at 720 Sunrise Avenue, Suite B-104, Roseville, CA 95661.
