TMJ therapy in North Burnaby.

Yes, free on-site parking with no meters, plus plenty of street parking on Hastings if the lot is full. That makes it easy to come back for the repeat visits that jaw treatment usually needs.

They can. The jaw joint sits right beside the ear, and the muscles that move it connect up into the head and down into the neck. That is why TMJ trouble often shows up as ear fullness, tension headaches or migraines, and neck pain. Treatment aims at the jaw and neck together so those linked symptoms have a chance to settle.

If your jaw pain began after a car crash, it is covered under ICBC's pre-approved physiotherapy, with no referral needed; bring your claim number and we direct bill. Extended health plans (Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield and others) are direct-billed up to your plan limit. MSP only covers a limited number of visits for people on Premium Assistance.

Intraoral work, gentle treatment with a gloved finger inside the mouth, is optional and only done with your consent; many people improve without it. A physiotherapist treats how the jaw and neck move, while a dentist checks the bite and makes a night guard for grinding. We do not make guards or adjust the bite, so we coordinate with your dentist when that is needed.

Book online through JaneApp or call the studio directly. New-client jaw assessments run about 45 minutes, and the free on-site parking at Kensington Square makes it easy to plan around a work break. Evening appointments are often available if a daytime slot does not suit your schedule.

Your physiotherapist takes a history of when the jaw pain started, measures how far the jaw opens and whether it deviates to one side, and checks the muscles of the jaw, temple and neck by hand. You leave with a short home program and a clearer sense of what is driving the pain.

MSP covers a limited number of physiotherapy visits per year, but only for people on Premium Assistance. Most adults use extended health or ICBC (for a crash-related jaw injury) to cover TMJ therapy, or pay privately, current rates are on our /rates page. Ask our front desk to confirm your specific coverage before your first visit if you are unsure.

A physiotherapist assesses joint movement and adjusts the plan as the jaw responds to treatment. An RMT at the same studio treats the muscle tension directly through soft-tissue work. Many North Burnaby clients use both together, physio to guide the plan and RMT to manage tone between visits.
