I know this is an old thread from last year, but I wanted to share my experience. Last year I had a very painful jaw, just on one side where it hurt to eat or just sit there. The dentist didn’t know what to do my primary doctor just shook his head and said surgery is not very successful for TMJ. I mentioned it to my physical therapist who I was going to for my neck, I have issues on the C567. She put on a glove had me lay back, and grabbed my jaw and manipulated it. Boom it was back in the socket whatever was wrong she cured. I let my doctor and my dentist know, ask them to share it with anyone else that I had this issue it might help them.

I have similar jaw pain. Thank you for sharing your experience which could be helpful.

I am glad you got help!!
My dentist told me that TMJ was an dental problem helped by a PCP.
When my jaw slipped, my TMJ dentist helped me by putting it back in place.
Yikes, it hurt!
Just be careful because it can slip out again.
Good luck!

@ga29 Glad to hear your issue was addressed and is not a problem for you, now. As @grandmar mentioned, it might slip out again. My jaw tends to slip, usually on left side, whenever I open my mouth wide. Fortunately my dental hygienist is aware of it. But it played havoc when I had general anesthesia 22 years ago!
