Ireland's dedicated clinic for TMJ disorder, jaw clicking, clenching and facial pain. A hands-on chiropractic and physiotherapy approach that treats the jaw, neck and muscles together — so you can eat, sleep and work without wincing.
Many people with jaw pain spend years cycling between their GP, dentist and painkillers. Tick what applies to see whether a proper jaw-focused assessment is worth your time — no email required.
Answer honestly. Takes about a minute. We'll show you a clear next step at the end.
ℹ This is a guide, not a medical diagnosis. A formal assessment is performed in clinic.
Whether it's a clicking jaw that's been getting louder, morning headaches from nighttime grinding, or a splint that just isn't working — we can help.
Pain, stiffness or tenderness in the jaw joint itself.
Disc displacement that makes every yawn or bite audible.
Grinding during sleep or day-time clenching from stress.
Morning or end-of-day headaches linked to jaw & neck tension.
Jaw that gets stuck open or closed — or catches mid-yawn.
Ear pressure, ringing or facial ache the GP can't explain.
When the upper cervical spine is the real driver.
After wisdom teeth, long dental work or when a splint isn't holding.
Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most-used joints in your body. When the muscles, disc or nerves around it get dysfunctional, everything from chewing to sleep suffers. These are the most common root causes we see.
Masseter, temporalis and pterygoid muscles go into chronic spasm from daytime clenching or nighttime bruxism. The fix: targeted release and motor-pattern retraining.
The small disc inside your TMJ slips out of position — causing clicking, popping, or the jaw locking open or closed. Manual mobilisation can help restore proper tracking.
A large proportion of jaw pain cases have an upper-neck component. The C1–C3 vertebrae refer pain directly into the jaw, face and ears via the trigeminocervical nucleus.
Forward head posture, chronic jaw tension from screen work, or anxiety-driven clenching. Without addressing the load pattern, splints and dental work don't hold.
Whiplash, a long dental procedure or wisdom-tooth extraction can all throw TMJ mechanics off. Patients sometimes come to us months or years after the trigger event.
Most clinics treat the jaw OR the neck OR the posture. Our combined chiropractic and physio team assesses all three — which matters because the real driver is often not where the pain is.
See our approach →Your first visit is a proper assessment. We'll tell you honestly what's going on, what treatment looks like, and roughly how many sessions we think you'll need.
60-minute first visit. Full TMJ, cervical and postural exam. Review any imaging, dental splint or prior notes. You leave with a clear care plan.
60 minTMJ mobilisation, intra-oral muscle release, cervical adjusting and soft-tissue work where appropriate. Always with your consent on technique.
30 minA short daily routine personalised to your case — filmed on your phone during the session so you're never guessing at home.
5 min/dayWe re-test against your starting point. When you're better, we discharge you — with a maintenance plan only if it's genuinely needed.
Review at wk 6Jaw pain sits at the intersection of joint mechanics, muscle tension and posture. Our team is set up to treat all three — in the same clinic, often in the same visit.
Lawrence focuses on complex, longstanding musculoskeletal cases — including jaw, neck and disc-related pain. Patients frequently describe him as someone who "sees the whole picture" rather than treating the pain in isolation.
Sinead works alongside the team on TMJ, cervical and chronic pain cases. Her approach is methodical and consent-led, with a strong focus on explaining what's happening at every step so you understand your own care.
Kate brings physiotherapy, cold laser and shockwave therapy into the mix. For jaw patients, her role is often the muscular and rehab side — the "homework" layer that makes chiropractic changes hold.
Every review below is a verified Google review of our practitioners. Jaw-Pain.ie is our new focused clinic for TMJ and facial pain, but the team behind it has been treating complex pain cases for years.
Your first visit is a full assessment. If we don't think we can help, we'll tell you — and point you in the right direction. No endless sessions, no lock-in.
