Relief for TMJ & Jaw Pain — Naturally
Relieve Jaw Pain Naturally with Acupuncture
Restore Comfort. Regain Ease. Rediscover Balance.
If you're living with jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, or difficulty opening your mouth fully, you're not alone. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Syndrome can significantly impact your ability to speak, chew, sleep, and even concentrate. Symptoms often extend beyond the jaw itself, manifesting as facial tension, earaches, headaches, neck stiffness, and even shoulder pain. Over time, this chronic dysfunction can erode your quality of life.
Fortunately, there is a natural, effective solution—acupuncture.
At the core of this treatment approach is Amber Milanovich, L.Ac., a board-certified acupuncturist with extensive clinical experience and a focused specialization in treating TMJ-related conditions. Her work is rooted in the belief that healing should be both deeply therapeutic and entirely holistic. Through precision-based acupuncture, Amber addresses the muscular tension, joint inflammation, and systemic imbalances that contribute to TMJ dysfunction.
Why Acupuncture for TMJ?
Acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s innate healing systems. Ultra-fine needles are placed at strategic points to promote circulation, reduce muscle tightness, modulate nerve signaling, and decrease inflammation in and around the temporomandibular joint. In addition, Chinese medicine has the capacity to address the underlying psychoemotional aspects of jaw pain, the impediments to your ability to fully express yourself. It is a drug-free, non-invasive treatment that offers both immediate relief and long-term benefits.
Unlike quick fixes or masking symptoms with medication, acupuncture targets the root causes of your discomfort—bringing relief that is sustainable and cumulative. This is a process, not a one-time procedure. To fully address the underlying patterns contributing to TMJ and jaw pain, a series of 12 treatments is typically recommended. Patients often report noticeable improvements within the first few sessions, with increasing relief as the course progresses.
What You May Be Experiencing:

These symptoms are your body’s way of signaling that something is out of balance. Acupuncture provides a path to recalibrate that balance, naturally.
