WHEN YOUR JAW WON’T RELAX,
ACUPUNCTURE HELPS.
YOU’VE TRIED SO MANY OTHER THINGS. ACUPUNCTURE IS A DIFFERENT PATH FORWARD.
OFFERED IN OUR CALM, PRIVATE CLINIC IN LOHI
WHEN YOUR JAW WON’T RELAX
Constantly rubbing it.
Cracking it like a fidget toy.
Face exhausted by afternoon.
Chewing feels like work.
TMJ isn't just about your jaw - it's about a nervous system that won't let go.
When you're clenching, grinding, or holding tension you can't release, your whole face pays the price.
Acupuncture releases the deep muscle tension and calms the stress response driving your TMJ pain. We use trigger points, facial acupuncture, gua sha, cupping, and more to address what's actually holding the tension - not just protecting your teeth from the grinding.
TMJ SUPPORT FOR EVERY TYPE
-
JAW CLENCHING + GRINDING
Waking up sore, grinding your teeth down, mouthguard isn't helping. We release the muscle tension and nervous system patterns driving the clenching.
-
FACE ASYMMETRY + TENSION
One side feels bigger, masseter muscle won't relax, face looks uneven. We help calm the overworked muscles causing facial tension and asymmetry.
-
TMJ HEADACHES + TEMPLE PAIN
Temples aching all day, headaches before you're awake, pain radiating up your face. We address the jaw tension causing the head pain.
-
JAW CLICKING + LOCKING
Constant clicking, jaw feels stuck, can't open fully without pain. We help improve joint mobility and reduce inflammation around the TMJ.
WHY CHOOSE US FOR TMJ SUPPORT
-
…mouthguards can't. Research shows acupuncture doesn't just relax muscles - it literally switches your nervous system from "fight or flight" to "rest and digest." Mouthguards protect your teeth from grinding. Acupuncture addresses why your nervous system won't let your jaw relax in the first place.
-
"My jaw won't relax," "my face feels tight," "I can't stop touching my jaw" - that's enough. We work with what your jaw is actually doing, not just what a test says.
-
What helped two weeks ago might not work today. We adapt based on how tight your jaw feels right now - not some protocol.
-
Less tension that night. Better sleep. Face that doesn't ache when you talk. That's the measure - not needles, not theory, just how you feel walking out.

YOUR FIRST VISIT
What To Expect:
We'll talk about your TMJ - what makes it worse, what you've tried, how stressed you are, how your jaw feels throughout the day. Treatments use acupuncture, cupping, facial acupuncture, trigger point work, gua sha, and other methods to release tension and calm your nervous system.
Investment:
Initial Visit: $150 (60-75 minutes)
Follow-Ups: $100 (about 50–60 minutes)
Insurance: We accept most United Healthcare plans
Reimbursement: Superbills available for out-of-network coverage
Your treatments:
For TMJ, research shows 2-3 sessions per week work best initially for stubborn jaw tension. Jaw pain is tricky - it's tied to stress, sleep, how you hold your body, and your nervous system needs consistent support to break the clenching pattern.
Once your jaw starts staying relaxed longer and you're not constantly aware of it, we adjust frequency. Most people transition to weekly, then every other week as symptoms calm down.
Some people stay at 2x/week longer because their stress levels or grinding patterns need more support. Others find weekly is enough once the worst tension releases.
The goal: get your jaw to stop controlling your day, then find the rhythm that keeps it that way.
