Precision treatment for muscular disorders of the biceps

TMD physiotherapy focuses on the treatment of pain and dysfunction of the jaw, face, head and neck. Treatment includes relieving pain, improving jaw function and preventing recurrence of problems. Physiotherapy of the jaw can be particularly useful for stress-related tension in the jaw area.
  • When to seek bite physiotherapy?

    Typically, a client who comes to the service bites or grinds their teeth at night. Bursal physiotherapy is also useful when the jaw joint is slack or occasionally locks up.

  • What does bite physiotherapy look at?

    Physiotherapy for the musculoskeletal system always starts with an initial assessment to identify the underlying causes of pain. It includes, among other things, a review of posture while standing and sitting, muscle balance in the head and neck region, jaw joint mobility and functional assessment. In addition, joint sounds, mouth opening abnormalities and palpation of the tenderness of the bite muscles on the outside and inside of the mouth are examined.

  • What kind of treatments do you use?

    Comeback Physio commonly uses manual therapy, jaw joint mobilisation, acupuncture and exercises to improve muscle balance and mobility.

  • Do I need a referral for temporomandibular physiotherapy?

    You do not need a referral if you seek treatment privately. However, if it’s for treatment recommended by a doctor or rehabilitation covered by an insurance company, for example, a referral may be useful.

What bite physiotherapy helps with

Teeth biting or gnashing

Nocturnal biting and scratching can cause pain and muscle tension in the jaw area.

Drooping or locking of the jaw joint

Problems with the jaw joint may indicate a jaw joint dysfunction that requires treatment.

Bite-biting headaches

Muscle tension in the jaw can be reflected in headaches, especially in the temples and the back of the head.

Constant neck and shoulder tension

The strain on the muscles of the bursa can affect the muscular balance of the entire upper body and cause neck and shoulder pain.

This is how physiotherapy progresses during your appointment

1

Initial mapping and discussion

The intake starts with a comprehensive initial assessment, where we go through the client’s symptoms, health history and possible functional capacity challenges. We will also discuss work, leisure and everyday stress factors to get a full picture of your situation. The aim is to understand the background to your symptoms and find the right approach to treatment for you.

2

Examining the symptoms

After the discussion, we will examine the symptoms in more detail using physiotherapeutic methods. For example, we assess muscle strength, mobility, body control and possible areas of pain. If necessary, we will carry out more detailed functional tests. The examination provides the basis for building an individual treatment and exercise programme.

3

Treatment and rehabilitation plan

Based on the tests, we will draw up a personalised treatment and rehabilitation plan for you. The plan may include therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, ergonomic guidance and concrete ways to alleviate symptoms and improve your ability to function. All interventions are based on your goals and your life situation.

4

Follow-up and further guidance

Physiotherapy does not end at the first visit. We will monitor your progress and adapt your treatment as necessary. You will also receive clear follow-up instructions for self-training and support for everyday activities. The aim is to achieve lasting results and strengthen your independent well-being.
