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:
Jaw stretches: Gently open your mouth as wide as you can and hold for a few seconds. Repeat several times. You can also try placing a finger on your chin and gently pushing down while resisting with your jaw muscles.
Neck stretches: Tilt your head to one side, bringing your ear towards your shoulder. Hold for a few seconds, then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side. You can also try tilting your head back and looking towards the ceiling, or tilting your head to one side and looking towards your armpit.
Lip stretch: Puckering your lips as if you’re kissing the air can help stretch the muscles in your jaw and lips. Hold for a few seconds, then relax. Repeat several times.
Tongue stretch: Stick out your tongue as far as you can and hold for a few seconds. Repeat several times.
Jaw relaxation: Place a finger on your cheekbone near your ear and gently massage in a circular motion. You can also try placing a warm washcloth over your cheekbones and temples and massaging in a circular motion.
Jaw strengthening: Place a small object between your teeth and gently bite down, holding for a few seconds. You can also try gently biting down on a washcloth or piece of gauze to help strengthen the muscles in your jaw.

We’ve been seeing chiropractors for nearly a decade, and Dr. Tylor is truly one of a kind. He doesn’t just adjust you—he listens, finds the problem, and adjusts your care to exactly what you need. No concern is ever too small, and he always makes us feel heard and cared for.
He’s not only an amazing doctor, but an incredibly kind, caring, and genuine human being who has become a friend along the way. We recommend him and Potent Chiropractic to everyone we know and are so grateful to have found him! ❤️ And an honorable mention to the front desk girls, who are so funny, kind, and genuinely caring—they remember your name, remember your life, and somehow make every visit feel like catching up with friends instead of just checking in. We truly couldn’t do it without them! 😂❤️
Dr. Tylor has helped me in ways a lot of other chiropractors have never been able to! Down to earth and is exceptional at his job. I would recommend him to anyone.
Dr Tyler and his entire staff are amazing! They truly have the patients in mind and ensure we are getting the care we deserve.
They are flexible with their appointment scheduling and do what they can to accommodate my work schedule. They also have multiple payment plans depending on how much you need to see Dr Tyler that make it affordable even when my insurance doesn’t cover chiropractic. Thank you!
I wanted to give a huge shoutout to Potent Chiropractic 👏🏼
Dr. Tylor & his team are fantastic. This is the first chiropractor I’ve been to since moving to Columbus that has done X-rays upfront and wanted to ensure he could work on the SOURCE of my problems and not just the SYMPTOMS. I highly recommend. I haven’t felt this good in months. We are working toward an actual goal - where we’ll take X-rays again at the end of my treatment to ensure it works 🩻 10/10 recommend!
Out of all the chiropractors I’ve been to before… this one rates at the top. I haven’t felt sore after the adjustments compared to previous places and have felt way better after.
I came in for the First Responder appreciation promotion, and wasn’t pressured or sold anything to come back!
Super friendly staff and highly recommended
