    Comprehensive Jaw Pain Treatment at The Gorge

    Jaw pain is often linked to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which can result from factors such as stress, teeth grinding (bruxism), misalignment, or past injuries. This discomfort can manifest as soreness, stiffness, difficulty chewing, or even radiating pain in the face, neck, and shoulders. If left untreated, TMJ disorders can lead to chronic pain and worsening symptoms that affect daily activities and overall well-being.

    At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of the Gorge, we provide specialized treatments to address the underlying causes of jaw pain. Our approach includes custom oral appliances, myofunctional therapy, and non-invasive techniques designed to alleviate tension and restore proper jaw function. By focusing on long-term solutions rather than temporary relief, we help patients regain comfort and mobility, improving their quality of life. Contact us today at (541) 386-2999 to make an appointment.
