The best (and safest) exercises for jaw clicking, from doctors who treat it every day at Flintridge Family Chiropractic in La Cañada Flintridge.
If you've Googled "best exercises for jaw clicking," you've probably seen a dozen conflicting lists. Here's what our doctors actually give patients — and, just as importantly, what we tell them to stop doing.
Clicking or popping in the jaw is usually a sign the disc inside the TMJ isn't tracking correctly — a very common and treatable pattern.
Rule #1: Move the Stiff Joints, Stabilize the Loose Ones
Most people with jaw clicking intuitively stretch the area that hurts. The problem is that the painful area is often the unstable segment — it's already moving too much. Stretching it more can make things worse. The area you actually need to work on is usually the joint above or below.
