TMJ Massage Therapy in Cary, NC
Relief for Jaw, Neck & Head Pain - 919.228.9559
Gentle, Non-Invasive Therapy to Ease Jaw Pain, Headaches & Tension
Do you struggle with jaw pain, clicking, or tightness when chewing or talking? These are common signs of TMJ disorder (temporomandibular joint dysfunction). Left untreated, TMJ pain can also lead to headaches, neck stiffness, ear discomfort, or even trouble sleeping.
At Wake Medical Massage, LLC in Cary, NC, we specialize in gentle, drug-free therapy that relieves TMJ pain by addressing the root cause—tight, overworked muscles around the jaw, head, and neck.
Why Choose TMJ Massage Therapy?
Unlike medication that masks symptoms, medical massage provides natural, lasting relief by:
- Relaxing tight jaw and facial muscles
- Reducing headaches, earaches, and facial tension
- Improving jaw mobility and function
- Relieving stress that contributes to teeth grinding or clenching
- Supporting long-term recovery without invasive procedures
Specialized Training & Expertise
Your care is in the hands of a licensed medical massage practitioner with advanced certification in Evaluation and Treatment of Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) and Craniofacial Pain.
This specialized training means we not only understand the complex muscle and joint interactions of the jaw, but also apply safe, effective techniques that target both pain relief and long-term function.
Our Approach to TMJ Pain Relief
