Are you finding it difficult to open your mouth fully? Does your jaw feel stuck, painful, or stiff while eating, speaking, or yawning? Have you noticed clicking or discomfort around the jaw joint? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for jaw pain relief? A locked jaw, also known as trismus, can often be managed with appropriate physiotherapy.
Why Does a Jaw Become Locked?
A locked jaw may result from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, muscle spasm, teeth grinding, trauma, dental procedures, or prolonged jaw clenching. It can restrict mouth opening and interfere with everyday activities.
How Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy focuses on restoring jaw mobility and reducing muscle tension. Treatment focuses on:
β’ Gentle jaw mobility exercises
β’ Soft tissue release techniques
β’ TMJ mobilization when appropriate
β’ Postural correction for the neck and upper back
β’ Education to reduce jaw clenching and overuse
What You Can Try at Home
Eat soft foods during painful periods, avoid excessive chewing or wide yawning, apply a warm compress if advised, and perform prescribed jaw exercises gently.
For specialised care, Dr. Deepika Bansal β Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar provides personalised TMJ rehabilitation to relieve pain, improve jaw movement, and restore comfortable daily function.
