If you’ve ever dealt with jaw pain, clicking, or tightness when chewing or talking, you might be familiar with TMJ disorder — short for temporomandibular joint disorder. It can be frustrating, painful, and even affect your sleep or daily routine. But what many people don’t realize is that chiropractic care can actually help.
At Revive Chiropractic in Fitchburg, WI, we see patients all the time who are surprised at how much relief they can get — without relying on medications or invasive treatments.
What Is TMJ Disorder, Exactly?
Your temporomandibular joints connect your jawbone to your skull — and they do a lot of work. You use them to speak, eat, yawn, and even express emotion. TMJ disorder happens when those joints aren’t working the way they should.

Common symptoms include:
Jaw pain or stiffness
Clicking or popping sounds
Headaches
Earaches or pressure
Pain while chewing
Locking of the jaw
How Chiropractic Can Help TMJ
When the alignment of the spine — especially the neck and upper back — is off, it can lead to tension throughout the surrounding muscles, including those that affect your jaw.
At Revive Chiropractic, we take a whole-body approach to treating TMJ pain. That means:
Gentle adjustments using our ProAdjuster 360 to reduce tension and improve alignment
Manual techniques, when appropriate, to improve joint function
Muscle therapy and soft tissue work to release tightness around the jaw and neck
Additional treatments like infrared sauna or EMS therapy to support recovery and reduce inflammation
We customize care to your comfort level — especially for jaw-related issues where gentle, precise adjustments make a big difference.
