Massage for TMJ and Jaw Tension in Chapel Hill

Written By Brian Hicks

Understanding TMJ Pain
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the jaw to the skull — and tension here can cause headaches, ear pressure, and facial discomfort. The Mayo Clinic notes that TMJ disorders often arise from stress, teeth grinding, or jaw misalignment.

How Massage Helps TMJ Pain
Targeted massage around the jaw, neck, and scalp can:

  • Release tight muscles involved in clenching

  • Improve circulation and reduce inflammation

  • Ease associated headaches and neck tension

  • Promote relaxation through nervous system regulation
