Chiropractic and Teeth Grinding

Have you ever woken up with a sore jaw or noticed yourself grinding your teeth, especially during times of stress? Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can be a physical response to both emotional and physical stressors. Here's a glimpse into the science behind it and how chiropractic care can help:

🔍 The Stress Connection: When we're stressed, our bodies can go into heightened alertness, often called the 'fight or flight' response. This stress response can lead to muscle tension throughout the body, including the jaw and neck muscles.

🦷 The "WHY" behind Teeth Grinding: Excess muscle tension can manifest as teeth grinding, which often occurs involuntarily during sleep. The constant clenching and grinding can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and even dental issues.

🔄 How Chiropractic care can help: Chiropractic adjustments aim to reduce muscle tension and rebalance the body, which can positively impact the nervous system. Chiropractic care can help alleviate the physical and emotional stressors contributing to teeth grinding by promoting relaxation and balance.
