TMJ Therapy in Ponte Vedra Beach
Root Cause TMJ Therapy
Your bite is a blueprint for how your whole body moves and functions. When it’s imbalanced—even slightly—it can disrupt everything from jaw movement and facial symmetry to posture, sleep, and neurological function. That’s why we treat TMJ disorders through a whole-body, physiologic lens, using the most advanced diagnostics and a collaborative approach to true healing.
At Weeks Airway & Wellness, we don’t just mask symptoms—we uncover the root cause and build a path toward long-term relief.
The Bite–Body Connection
Your temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are among the most complex in the body. They hinge and slide, allowing your jaw to move smoothly—if everything is in harmony. But when the bite is misaligned or the muscles are strained, it can lead to chronic dysfunction across the entire body.
Common symptoms include:
- Jaw clicking, locking, or restricted motion
- Headaches or migraines
- Neck, shoulder, or facial pain
- Ear congestion, tinnitus, or vertigo
- Clenching, grinding, and worn-down teeth
- Fatigue, anxiety, or poor sleep quality
These aren’t isolated issues—they’re clues that something deeper is out of sync.
How We Diagnose: Beyond the Surface
Our TMJ evaluations combine advanced technology and neuromuscular insight to identify the true source of dysfunction. We use:
- TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) to relax hyperactive muscles and guide the jaw into its ideal rest position
- Jaw tracking and computerized joint analysis to measure function, stability, and alignment in motion
- CBCT imaging to visualize the TM joints and surrounding anatomy in 3D
- Myofunctional screening to assess oral posture and muscle patterns
- Airway evaluation to rule out hidden sleep-disordered breathing
This data allows us to develop precise, personalized treatment plans rooted in physiologic neuromuscular principles—as taught by the Las Vegas Institute (LVI).
Treatment That Works With Your Body
We start by stabilizing your jaw with a custom orthotic appliance, designed based on your ideal bite position (determined through TENS and neuromuscular testing). From there, we may incorporate:
- Functional orthodontics to support long-term craniofacial balance
- Cranial release and chiropractic care
- Myofunctional therapy to reprogram habits and improve oral posture
- Ozone therapy and nutritional protocols to reduce inflammation and support healing
- Sleep and airway therapies if breathing dysfunction is a contributing factor
No unnecessary surgery. No guessing. Just the right tools at the right time.
Team-Based Healing
We believe TMJ care should never be isolated. That’s why we work closely with a handpicked team of:
- Chiropractors and craniosacral therapists
- Physical therapists
- ENTs and airway specialists
- Myofunctional and sleep therapists
- Nutritionists and neurologists
Every treatment plan is built to support total-body balance, from joint stability to nervous system regulation.
Relief Starts Here
You don’t have to live with the tension, pain, and exhaustion of TMJ dysfunction. With the right team and a physiologic, root-cause approach, healing is absolutely possible—and often life-changing.
