Specialty care

TMJ and jaw pain care in Etobicoke.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull. When it is not working well, it can cause pain, clicking or tightness that affects chewing, speaking and rest.

Chiropractor Dr. Jon Mackey and physiotherapist Mason McIntosh offer hands-on care for TMJ pain, tension and dysfunction, looking at the muscles and joints of the jaw, neck and upper spine together.
