Identifying the Root Cause
At O’Brien Physical Therapy & Wellness, we believe lasting relief begins by understanding why your jaw, head or neck isn’t functioning the way it should. That’s why every TMJ/TMD case starts with a detailed evaluation of the factors driving your symptoms.
Posture and alignment
How your head, neck, shoulders and core are working together
Muscle tension
Tightness in the jaw, face, neck, and upper back
Breathing patterns
Mouth vs. nose breathing can significantly impact your jaws resting position
Clenching and grinding habits
Both daytime and nighttime tension
Stress and nervous system regulation
Because your jaw often tells us your stress levels
Daily routines
work setup, phone use, sleep position, and even chewing habits
Every body tells a story. Our job is to listen, connect the dots, and design a treatment plan that actually gets to the root cause — not just mask the pain.
