Why jaw therapy is your next power move
The Power of Jaw Therapy: Transform Your Health
Jaw therapy is a highly specialized osteopathic and physiotherapeutic treatment designed to elevate your jaw function. Unlock pain relief, enhance your mobility, and restore your jaw's natural harmony. We actively treat conditions like TMJ pain, teeth grinding, headaches, restricted jaw movement, and facial pain to help you live your life to the fullest.
In a nutshell
What is jaw therapy?
Jaw therapy is a highly specialized approach to treating TMJ disorders—combining expert manual techniques, targeted exercises, and customized treatment plans to eliminate pain and unlock your jaw's full, healthy function.
Manual treatment techniques
Targeted techniques to mobilize the jaw joint and relax the surrounding muscles for improved flexibility.
Therapeutic exercises
Personalized movement and stretching exercises to strengthen jaw muscles and promote correct movement patterns.
Functional analysis
Thorough examination of jaw and bite function to identify dysfunctions and develop a targeted treatment plan.
Jaw Therapy in Detail
In jaw therapy, we treat functional disorders of the masticatory system, also known as Craniomandibular Dysfunction (CMD). Typical symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, restricted mouth opening, or clicking sounds when chewing. In our practice in Zurich Altstetten, we first thoroughly analyze your symptoms. The treatment includes manual techniques to mobilize the jaw joint, relax the chewing muscles, and normalize movement patterns. We frequently combine jaw therapy with osteopathy or physiotherapy for optimal results. We create customized exercise programs so that you can actively contribute to your recovery at home. Book an appointment at our BodyLab and free yourself from your jaw discomfort.
Tension in the neck and head area (including headaches, dizziness, tinnitus)
Jaw therapy is fully integrated into our physiotherapy or osteopathic treatments. Under prescribed physiotherapy, basic insurance (KVG / UVG / IV / MV) covers the costs according to the standard tariff; as part of osteopathy, many supplementary insurance plans (complementary medicine) will contribute. Please confirm your specific coverage with your insurance provider in advance.
