Chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders, including temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Chiropractors use a variety of techniques, including spinal manipulation and adjustments, to help alleviate pain and improve function in the body.
One of the main ways that chiropractic care can help treat TMD and TMJ disorders is by addressing any misalignments or imbalances in the jaw, neck, and spine. These imbalances can put added strain on the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, leading to pain and discomfort. By correcting these imbalances, chiropractors can help relieve pressure on the jaw and reduce TMD and TMJ symptoms.
Another way that chiropractic care can help treat TMD and TMJ disorders is by reducing muscle tension and improving range of motion in the jaw. Chiropractors may use techniques such as massage, stretches, and exercises to relax and stretch the muscles around the jaw, helping to alleviate pain and improve function.
It’s important to note that TMD and TMJ disorders can be complex conditions, and treatment may vary depending on the underlying cause of the disorder and the severity of the symptoms.
Here are some stretches and exercises that may help alleviate pain and improve function in individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders:

I have been a sufferer of severe tension headaches, that can last over six days, for over 20 years. Nothing I did helped. (I carry my tension/stress in my neck and shoulders which is causing the tension headaches.) I started dry needling treatment with Dr. Geary two weeks ago (twice a week) and my headaches are about 80% better, and I have not had a headache since!! I have no doubt, in a short period of time, the tension in my neck and shoulders will be resolved through dry needling. I actually look forward to my appointments because it's amazing how much better I'm feeling. Dr. Geary is fabulous...he takes his time, explains why and where my headaches are coming from, is super friendly, is patient, and has found exactly what treatment I needed to conquer these headaches. If you suffer from tension headaches or migraine headaches and you're looking for relief, do not hesitate to contact Dr. Geary. I am thrilled that I found him and you will be too!!!
I have been going here for about 20 days Am gaining mobility and lost 25 pounds. Everyone is so kind, am very pleased with my progress
Wonderful people, Dr. Pete and Melanie. Started out with Chiro Thin , lost 42 lbs. also did two sessions of Chiropractic care. Turned me and my retirement around. Realized my health is almost everything to happiness. This place will help you. Honestly and integrity at the same time. Recommend them to anyone.
Wow! I walked in with lower back and hip pain and walked out pain free without my limp. Dr. Pete gave me exercises and stretches to do for “big picture” solutions to my problem vs. just chasing acute pain. Oh, and the computer scan was SO COOL and informative.
I needed a more naturopathic way forward for my neuropathy and I found it with Dr. Peter Geary. From day one he was “all in” with my unique health issues. He listened to my concerns and recommended an adaptive treatment plan. My care was anchored by a diverse, non-invasive chiropractic approach and holistic modalities of “light therapy” targeted to reach the deep nerves and blood supply. Dr. Geary brings not only first-class experience to his practice, but compassion and a great sense of humor. The same holds true for his talented assistant Melanie, who efficiently manages scheduling and ancillary treatment. I’m so grateful to Dr. Peter Geary, Melanie and the Brookfield Spine and Health Center. If you’re hoping for a healthier future, I highly recommend giving them a call today.
EXTREMELY happy with the care from Dr. Pete. Back issues for a number of years and Pete helped me feel younger and stronger. Great at explaining why I was having pain and what we needed to do to correct it. Plus - an all around good dude too. Highly recommend!!!
I came to the spine center dealing with constant nerve pain and many other chronic issues. Pete's approach to care is one based on research, experience, and diligence. I'm three appointments into our plan for treatment and have experienced the positive effects already.
Dr. Pete Geary at Brookfield Spine and Health Center is a game-changer. We sought his help for everything from sports injuries and mobility to routine maintenance, and the experience has been exceptional! It’s rare to find a practitioner so clinically brilliant, yet so genuinely friendly and honest.<br><br>He doesn’t just treat a single symptom; he holistically evaluates your lifestyle to uncover the root cause of the issue. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain or just want to stay at the top of your game, Dr. Geary is the best choice to get you back to 100% and participating in life pain-free.<br><br>Rich & Martha
To coin a cliche, Dr Pete's a God sent. I had alot of physical pain from driving a semi, past accidents and health issues that others were not able to me help with without putting me on medications, which would have given me other problems. (I'm not against medications, they just never helped in the past-I'm 73yo), I'm NOT willing to go that route anymore. Gradually, one by one, with his care, my symptoms are so...much better and after each treatment I notice improvement. He REALLY treats you like family.<br>Melanie needs a shout out too--So caring<br>Thank you Dr. Pete
I came in with major back issues and over weight. Way less pain and down 35lbs. These guys are great.
Dr Pete is an excellent Dr. I had severe neck pain & went through physical therapy but didn’t solve the problem. However, with the traction & the Pulstar adjustment , I am feeling 100% which is going on a month & I know it will continue.
The staff is amazing. You feel welcomed the moment you walk in.<br>This is the first time we've taken our almost 2-year-old to the chiropractor, and we just love how caring and understanding Dr. Pete is. He's very knowledgeable about the human body and explains everything to you, every step of the way.<br>He treats you like you're part of his family. ♥️
