Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy & Jaw Care
|
The jaw plays a powerful role in how we breathe, speak, sleep, and hold tension in the body.
Orofacial myofunctional therapy focuses on improving tongue posture, jaw function, and muscle patterns of the face and mouth, supporting not just the jaw, but the nervous system and overall well-being. Dr. Chrissy integrates this work into her care to help release stored tension, improve function, and create more balance throughout the body. Through her own journey with chiropractic care and movement, she developed a deep understanding of how the body adapts, and how targeted, intentional support can create lasting change. |
Success Story From A Patient:
Chief Concern:
Singer and speaker experiencing ongoing jaw tension from frequent voice use. She had previous chiropractic care, but needed deeper, more specialized jaw support.
Care Approach:
A 6-week series of care combining chiropractic adjustments with orofacial myofunctional therapy, along with simple, supportive home practices.
Outcome:
Significant reduction in jaw tension and improved ease with speaking and daily function. Now maintains progress with occasional visits (about once per quarter) and consistent home care, preventing tension from building the way it once did.
