TMJ Pain

Chiropractic Care for Temporomandibular Disorders (TMJ/TMD) in Bellingham, WA

Up to 15% of adults experience TMJ/TMD, with women affected twice as often as men. While many factors contribute to this condition, growing research highlights the link between spinal nerve dysfunction and the role Chiropractic care can play in resolving it.

At Ascend Chiropractic, we take a specific, targeted approach to treating TMJ by focusing on the spinal and nervous system components that influence jaw function. While dentists are specialists in the mouth, we specialize in the spineusing the precise Gonstead method to address TMJ dysfunction.

Patients often experience significant symptom relief within 1-2 visits, and lasting results with continued care.

Patient Testimonial:

I started seeing Dr. Mike for chronic neck pain and TMJ issues, and I truly can’t believe the difference it’s made. For years, I’ve dealt with constant tension in my neck and jaw—sometimes so bad it affected my sleep, mood, and ability to focus. Dr. Mike took the time to really listen, assess what was going on, and explain the connections between posture, stress, and jaw alignment in a way that actually made sense.

His adjustments are gentle but incredibly effective, and he’s also given me practical exercises and strategies to help manage pain between visits. I noticed improvement within the first few appointments, and now I’m feeling better than I have in a long time.

The office is always welcoming and professional, and I appreciate that Dr. Mike never rushes through appointments—he really takes time to make sure you’re getting the care you need. If you’re struggling with TMJ, jaw tension, or neck pain, I can’t recommend him enough!

I fell and was worried I may have fractured my wrist. Dr. Mike was great, he got me in right away for X-rays and was able to give me the answers I needed at an affordable cost. Highly recommend!

Wonderful staff, always so kind, funny, and caring. I came in with pretty severe neck and shoulder pain. Dr. Motel’s process is thorough and he does progress checks and scans along the treatment plan and adjusts when necessary. Cannot recommend Ascend enough.
