Dr. Cydney is proficient in manual and instrument-assisted adjusting/manipulation, mobilization, massage therapies, and home exercises to alleviate jaw pain and tension.
Jaw tension rarely travels alone. Stress isn’t just mental: it shows up in your shoulders, your jaw, and even your digestion. Addressing neck mechanics and jaw tension early can decrease the severity and duration of headaches, and less stress helps reduce clenching, so the cycle of improved function and symptoms continues.
One patient gets chronic, recurrent jaw tension that results in generalized stress. Treating his neck (chiropractic manipulative therapy, soft tissue therapies, home exercises, and heat) and his jaw (intra-oral soft tissue therapy, Activator tool adjusting and manual mobilization, and external soft tissue therapy) helps reduce his physical symptoms, which results in decreased stress.
