Acupuncture
Jaw tension and acupuncture
Clench, click and a tired face — needles as an adjunct to dentistry and osteopathy.
Symptoms and what they can mean
Morning tightness, temple pain, a click. Stress and screens. A locked jaw is dental.
What we can do in clinic
Local and distal points, sometimes ear. Steve looks at the neck. A splint is a dentist. We can coexist.
Red flags and when to see your GP
Infection, trauma, or a jaw that will not close — urgent dental or A&E.
