TMJ therapy in Lougheed.
Hands-on care for a stiff, clicking or aching jaw.
TMJ THERAPY IN LOUGHEED
Why clients in Lougheed choose us.
TMJ physiotherapy in Lougheed for jaw pain is delivered on Level 1 of the Residential Podium above CIBC and LifeLabs, a five-minute walk from Lougheed Town Centre SkyTrain. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge in front of each ear, and when it stops moving smoothly you feel it in the jaw, the temples, and often the neck.
Care here is led by physiotherapists with training in the jaw and the muscles that move it. They work to the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC scope: hands-on treatment of the jaw and neck, gentle mobility work, and a short home program you can do between visits. Our RMTs and chiropractor share the same building, so soft-tissue and neck work can be added to the plan when it helps.
We cannot promise a cure, but treatment can help reduce jaw pain and improve how far and how smoothly the jaw opens. If your case needs a dentist for a night guard or a bite check, we will say so and work alongside them.
Late evening slots to 8pm Monday to Friday and private treatment rooms make it easy to fit focused jaw work around a workday.

KIND WORDS
What Lougheed clients say.
"After seeing different physiotherapists and chiropractors for over 10 years, I can confidently say Byron is one of the best physiotherapists I’ve worked with. From my very first appointment, he established that the goal wasn’t just to treat my pain temporarily, but to build a strong foundation so my back could heal properly for the long term. He took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. For the first time, I truly understood why I was experiencing my symptoms and what the recovery process would look like. What really sets Byron apart is how thoughtful and patient he is. He always explains the purpose behind every exercise and how each one fits into my recovery plan. If an exercise feels too difficult or aggravates my symptoms, he genuinely listens to my feedback and quickly modifies the exercises so I can continue progressing safely. I never feel like my concerns are dismissed, and I always leave each session feeling informed, heard, and supported. After just one month of following his treatment plan, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my back pain, strength, and confidence with movement. Although recovery will still take time, it’s been incredibly encouraging to regain a sense of control and independence in my daily life. It’s reassuring to see real progress after struggling with recurring back issues for so many years. Another thing I really appreciate is the teamwork at the clinic. If I’m unable to see Byron for one of my appointments, he collaborates closely with the another physiotherapist (Harleen) and thoroughly communicates my condition, treatment progress, and goals. Because of this, I never feel like I’m starting over with someone new. It’s reassuring to know I’ll receive the same high quality of care regardless of who I see. Overall, I’ve had a positive experience at Launch Rehab. If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who takes the time to educate you, creates a personalized recovery plan, and genuinely invests in your recovery, I highly recommend Byron. The quality of care I’ve received has been exceptional, and I’m incredibly grateful for his help."

FAQ
TMJ Therapy in Lougheed: questions.
How do I reach the Lougheed studio for a TMJ appointment?
+
From Lougheed Town Centre station, walk through City of Lougheed Mall toward Grande Promenade. We are on Level 1 above CIBC, between LifeLabs and PriceSmart Foods, about a five-minute walk. Evening slots run to 8pm Monday to Friday.
Is TMJ physiotherapy covered by ICBC or my extended health plan?
+
If your jaw pain started after a car crash, it is covered under ICBC's pre-approved physiotherapy, and you do not need a referral. Extended health plans (Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield and most others) are direct-billed up to your limit; you pay any balance on the day. MSP only helps with a limited number of visits for people on Premium Assistance.
Do you have to work inside the mouth to treat the jaw?
+
No. Intraoral work (gentle treatment with a gloved finger inside the mouth) is optional and only done with your consent. Many people improve with outside-the-mouth jaw and neck treatment plus a home program, and you can decline intraoral work at any time.
Should I see a physio or a dentist for TMJ problems?
+
They do different jobs. A physiotherapist treats how the jaw joint and muscles move and reduces pain. A dentist checks your bite and makes a night guard if grinding is part of the picture. We do not make night guards or adjust the bite, and we are glad to coordinate with your dentist so both sides of care line up.
How do I book a TMJ assessment at the Lougheed studio?
+
Book online through JaneApp or call the studio directly. The first visit is a full jaw and neck assessment, roughly 45 to 60 minutes, so your physiotherapist has time to test how the jaw opens, check the muscles around it, and screen the neck before starting treatment the same day.
How many TMJ physiotherapy sessions will I need?
+
Mild jaw tension linked to stress or a short clenching habit often settles in 4 to 6 visits. Longer-standing clicking, catching, or post-crash jaw pain through ICBC usually needs 8 or more sessions paired with a home program. Your physiotherapist gives you a realistic range after the first assessment rather than a fixed number up front.
Can TMJ pain cause headaches or ear symptoms?
+
Yes, jaw muscle tension commonly refers pain into the temples and can feel like it is coming from the ear, even though the ear itself is not the source. At Lougheed we check the jaw, temple muscles, and upper neck together, since tension headaches and jaw pain frequently share the same muscular cause and respond to the same treatment plan.
What credentials does a TMJ physiotherapist at Lougheed have?
+
Our TMJ physiotherapists are registered with the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC and hold post-graduate training specifically in jaw and orofacial physiotherapy, beyond the general physiotherapy degree. That extra training covers intraoral assessment technique and jaw-specific manual therapy that a general physiotherapy program does not include.
