Manipulative Therapy Helps Patients with Jaw Pain

A literature review on the effective management of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) notes that, “[For] the reduction of pain and disability, non-thrust mobilization and high-velocity, low amplitude thrust manipulation techniques to the TMJ [temporomandibular joints] and/or upper cervical articulations that directly and indirectly target the TMJ joint capsule [are] generally supported in the literature.” Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, July 2017
