If you are experiencing chronic jaw pain that affects your daily comfort, Blue Tree Health offers TMJ treatment in Austin, TX, focused on muscle-based relief. TMJ disorders, also known as temporomandibular joint disorder or temporomandibular joint dysfunction, often cause facial pain, ear pain, headaches, and painful symptoms tied to jaw muscle tension.
Our TMJ treatment uses precise Botox therapy to relax overactive jaw muscles and reduce stress on the jaw joint. This approach offers an effective treatment option for patients looking to treat TMJ when surgery, dental procedures, or physical therapy are not appropriate treatment options.


At Blue Tree Health, Botox injections are used to calm the jaw muscles responsible for clenching and grinding. By reducing muscle tension around the temporomandibular joint, Botox therapy helps provide TMJ relief. Our TMJ treatment commonly helps relieve:
TMJ issues often develop from several factors, including teeth grinding, jaw misalignment, misaligned bite, muscle tension, and stress management challenges. These problems can limit jaw movement, affect jaw mobility, and lead to popping sounds, a locked jaw, facial discomfort, and chronic pain.
Botox therapy works by blocking nerve signals that trigger excessive contraction of the jaw muscles. When injected into targeted areas, Botox reduces muscle tension that contributes to TMJ pain, jaw misalignment, and restricted jaw movement. This allows the jaw joint to function with less strain while preserving natural jaw mobility. Many patients begin noticing relief from TMJ symptoms, headaches, and facial discomfort within days as muscle tension decreases.
