TMJ Therapy in Portland & Lake Oswego — Gentle, Fascia Focused Jaw Pain Relief

What's Actually Causing Your TMJ Pain?

There is always something at the root of the TMJ dysfunction

The cause is usually entangled with nervous system dysregulation and magnified by stress. Our work together is to find the cause and retrain your system.

What is TMJ / TMJD?

Your tempomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint is overworked, injured, or stressed, it can lead to:

• Jaw pain or tightness

• Headaches and migraines

• Clicking, popping, or locking in the jaw

• Teeth clenching or grinding (bruxism)

• Earaches or facial pain

• Neck and shoulder tension

These symptoms can affect your daily life — from chewing and speaking to sleep and stress levels.

Causes of TMJ Pain

Without fail, there are little habits that contribute to TMJ dysfunction over time:

  • Muscle imbalances.

  • Mouth breathing.

  • Eating habits.

  • Hyper-mobility.

  • A nervous tic.

  • A compromised airway.

  • Grinding or clenching.

  • Constantly living in a state of overwhelm and overdoing. 

Our work together is to figure out what is causing your symptoms and retrain your system so that they don’t come back.

For some people, there's one more layer underneath chronic symptoms: mineral depletion. When magnesium, calcium, copper, and zinc run low — which stress and aging make almost inevitable — the tissue itself loses its fulidity, no matter how many of the habits above you fix. Explore minerals →

Gentle, Effective TMJ Therapy in Portland

Unlike traditional chiropractic adjustments, my TMJ treatments uses a fascia-based, nervous-system-aware method.

Over four weeks, most people:

  • Notice a meaningful reduction in pain

  • Develop greater awareness of jaw, breath, and tension patterns

  • Begin forming new habits that support healthier jaw function

Many clients describe sessions both as calming and deeply effective for releasing jaw pain and full-body tension.

A Note on What This Costs

I hate that my rates make this work unattainable for a lot of the people who need it most.

I'm 20 years out of school and I'm still paying off my student loans!

I wish insurance actually paid providers to help people heal. It doesn't. And one person can't fix that by running herself into the ground.

I’m always happy to offer interest free payment plans to make this more accessible. Just ask.
