Gentle TMJ Therapy & Craniosacral Therapy in Portland & Lake Oswego
Providing expert TMJ treatment and Craniosacral therapy for Portland, Lake Oswego
I Do Chiropractic Care Differently.
Chiropractors often conjure images of popping and cracking to realign the skeleton. But my work is pop-free — instead, I invite a gentle unwinding to release tension and return to alignment naturally.
At The TMJ Chiro, I use a unique blend of Craniosacral Therapy and myofascial release designed for:
TMJ dysfunction & jaw pain
Headaches and clenching
Hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
Stress, burnout and nervous system overload
Kind Words From Clients
My Approach
Instead of quick, forceful adjustments, I use slow, gentle methods that allow your body to release tension naturally. This fascia-centered care helps you find relief without pain or overwhelm.
If you’ve spent years trying to solve your pain, fatigue or dysregulation by focusing on the symptoms alone, and nothing seems to stick, it might be time to look at the foundation.
Our bodies are more than just bones: there is a connective tissue that surrounds all your muscles, tendons, and organs called the Fascia. Your nervous system weaves through this tissue. When fascia is dehydrated, under-nourished, inflamed, or irritated, you’ll experience pain and other symptoms that impact your day-to-day life.
By tending to your nervous system, the body can find homeostasis. We’re not forcing, we’re allowing the body to settle back into place. The results are far longer-lasting than a simple ‘adjustment.’
What is TMJ Dysfunction (TMJD)?
Your temporomandibular joints (TMJs) connect your jaw to your skull, enabling you to speak, chew, yawn, and smile. When those joints or surrounding muscles become irritated — due to stress, habitual clenching/grinding, posture, tension, or nervous-system dysregulation — you may experience:
Jaw pain or tightness
Facial pain, earaches, or pressure
Headaches or tension-type migraines
Clicking, popping or locking of the jaw
Tooth grinding (bruxism) or clenching
Difficulty opening or closing the jaw, or limited range of motion
If untreated, these symptoms can affect daily life — from eating comfortably to sleeping, speaking, and overall quality of life.
