If you're experiencing jaw pain or discomfort due to temporomandibular disorder, you're not alone. Our Nanaimo TMD physiotherapy can help you find relief and regain comfort in your daily life
Temporomandibular disorders, or TMD, refers to disorders that affect the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint or TMJ) and surrounding muscles.
TMD leads to pain, discomfort, and impaired function. These issues can arise from injury, teeth grinding, arthritis, or stress-related jaw clenching. TMD can impact daily activities such as speaking, chewing, and yawning, affecting overall quality of life.
Our specialized physiotherapy services provide non-invasive, effective treatments designed to alleviate pain, restore normal jaw function, and prevent recurrence. Through manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, posture correction, and patient education, we address the underlying causes of TMD for lasting relief.
If you're dealing with acute jaw issues or chronic discomfort, our physiotherapy approach to TMD and TMJ rehabilitation can help you regain comfort and jaw mobility.

Our tailored approach combines evidence-based treatments with personalized care:
1. Do I need a referral for TMD/TMJ physiotherapy?
No referral is required; you can book directly with our physiotherapists to address jaw pain or other temporomandibular disorders.
2. What should I expect during my first visit?
An in-depth assessment of your jaw function, posture, and contributing factors, followed by a tailored treatment plan.
3. How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your condition's severity and duration. Your physiotherapist will provide a personalized treatment timeline.
4. Can TMD physiotherapy help with headaches?

Not all jaw sounds require treatment unless accompanied by pain or functional limitations. Our assessment will determine the appropriate course of action.
