What is jaw pain?
Jaw pain usually feels like a dull ache or tension around the jaw area. It can also be sharp or radiate toward the ear or head.
Jaw pain and headaches
Jaw pain and headaches often go hand in hand. The muscles around the jaw contain certain trigger points that can refer pain to the head, so tension in the jaw can easily lead to headaches.
Jaw and neck pain
Jaw and neck pain are also commonly linked. When there’s a lot of muscle tension in the jaw, it can spread to the neck. Likewise, tension in the spine can contribute to a combination of jaw and neck pain.
Chronic jaw pain
Chronic jaw pain means you’ve been experiencing discomfort for a longer period of time. This ongoing pain can interfere with daily life and lead to other related issues.
Other jaw-related symptoms
If you’ve had jaw pain for a while, you may start to develop other symptoms such as teeth grinding, headaches, neck pain, or difficulty eating. Over time, these can affect your overall wellbeing, leaving you feeling less energetic and resilient. That’s why it’s important to address and resolve the root cause of your jaw tension and pain.
Causes of jaw pain
The causes of jaw pain can often be traced back to either the jaw joint itself or the spine. The jaw is a unique joint, it’s formed from one bone that creates two joints. This means that if one side becomes restricted, it can cause pain and imbalance on both sides, often leading to an uneven opening of the mouth. In addition, tension or asymmetry in the jaw muscles, or stored stress in the neck vertebrae can also contribute to jaw pain.
Symptoms of jaw pain
Jaw pain can show up in different ways, depending on the cause. Common symptoms include:
- A dull or sharp pain around the jaw joint or cheek area
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening or closing the mouth
- Stiffness or limited movement of the jaw
- Pain when chewing, talking, or yawning
- Headaches, especially around the temples
- Ear pain, ringing in the ears, or a feeling of pressure
- Neck tension or pain radiating toward the shoulders
These symptoms often indicate an imbalance or tension in the jaw joint or surrounding muscles, something that chiropractic care can help restore to a more natural, balanced state.
Our jaw pain examination
We begin every jaw pain examination with a thorough assessment to find the root cause of your issues. This includes testing the mobility and movement of your jaw, analyzing your posture, and checking for tension in your spine. Based on these findings, we create a tailored plan to help restore proper function and relieve your jaw pain.
The goal of our jaw treatment
The goal of our jaw treatment is to help you heal the problem for good. We do this by releasing tension in your spine using gentle, precise adjustments. By restoring balance in your body as a whole, your posture improves and the tension in your jaw muscles decreases. This also enhances the function of your nervous system, allowing your brain and body to communicate more clearly. As a result, your body becomes better able to heal and restore balance naturally.
How our jaw problems treatment helps relieve your jaw pain
Most people who start with jaw problems treatment notice improvement within just a few weeks of care. Their jaw tension decreases, and they feel their body coming back into balance. This approach not only helps resolve jaw pain, it also supports your body’s natural ability to heal. As your nervous system begins to function more optimally, your body can recover more effectively from other health issues as well. You’ll feel more energetic, more balanced, and more at ease in your own body.
When to see a chiropractor for jaw pain?
It’s a good idea to visit a chiropractor for jaw pain if your dentist hasn’t been able to find or resolve the cause of your problems. This usually means there’s an underlying issue contributing to your symptoms. As chiropractors, we’re specialists in the spine and nervous system, trained to identify and correct these deeper imbalances. A chiropractic approach not only helps relieve your jaw pain but also supports your overall health and wellbeing.
Physiotherapy for jaw pain or chiropractic?
Physiotherapy for jaw pain is often the first option people hear about. You can even see a specialized jaw physiotherapist. Physiotherapy can be very helpful when the cause of your jaw pain is located directly in the jaw joint or muscles. However, in many cases, we find that the entire spine plays an important role. In those situations, chiropractic care is very effective. That’s because physiotherapists and chiropractors focus on different aspects of the body.
A physiotherapist primarily works with muscles, joints, and movement patterns. A chiropractor takes it one step further by looking not only at movement but also at how your spine and nervous system are functioning as a whole. By restoring this connection, your body can heal more completely. This not only relieves jaw pain but also improves your overall health, leaving you feeling more balanced, energetic, and at ease in your body.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, chiropractic care is highly effective for jaw pain and related issues. The cause of jaw pain often lies in reduced function of the spine. That’s why we focus on releasing tension in your spine through gentle, precise adjustments. This helps improve your posture and release tension in your jaw, allowing your body to recover naturally. Many people also notice relief from related problems such as teeth grinding, headaches, and neck pain
A chiropractic adjustment is generally painless. The adjustments we use are gentle and precise, focusing mainly on your spine. When we work directly on your jaw, it can feel a little sensitive, simply because there’s often a lot of tension built up in that area. Our goal is to release that tension so your jaw can relax, heal, and recover fully.
No, you don’t need a referral. You can book an appointment directly at Solar Chiropractic without a referral.
Most insurers reimburse chiropractic care under complementary or alternative care in the extras insurance package (aanvullende verzekering). Check your policy to see what your coverage includes, or click here to view the coverage of your insurance company.
You can find the current fees for chiropractic care on our fees page. There, you can also check what your health insurer reimburses.
During your first appointment, we take the time to understand your health concerns and create a personalised care plan. This initial visit usually lasts around 30-45 minutes. Once we know what your body needs, the follow-up visits are shorter and more focused. You’ll first have a moment to relax on the table before the chiropractor begins the adjustments. These adjustments give your body exactly what it needs to support the self-healing process. So even though each session only lasts at most about 10 minutes, the healing process continues long after you leave the practice.
Yes, chiropractic care is very safe when performed by a qualified chiropractor. At Solar, every adjustment is delivered with precision, presence, and respect for your body’s natural rhythms. We don’t force or manipulate, we work with your body to help it find balance again. Research shows that chiropractic care is among the safest forms of healthcare available, and is far safer than common medications like ibuprofen. Our approach is gentle, specific, and focused on restoring proper function to your spine and nervous system. Most people experience chiropractic as deeply relaxing and even restorative, a way to reconnect with their body and support its innate capacity to heal and thrive.

What to expect
Your first visit
We’ll take the time to get to know you and explore how we can best support your health and healing. This comprehensive consultation includes a holistic health questionnaire, physical examination, posture scans, and a personal conversation about your health goals. If we determine that we can help you, you’ll receive a gentle chiropractic adjustment tailored to your body’s needs.
Intensive phase
In this stage, we focus on restoring balance in your spine and nervous system through precise, effective adjustments. The sessions are short yet powerful. Repetition is key as it helps teach your brain new, healthier neurological patterns. During this phase, we usually see you twice per week.
Stabilisation phase
Your body begins to adapt to its new balance. Muscles, discs, ligaments, and connective tissues get the chance to heal and strengthen. This will help prevent your body from slipping back into old, protective patterns. To support this process, adjustments are usually scheduled once per week.
Wellness care
We continue to support your health for as long as you feel it is best serving you. Just like eating well, moving your body, and giving yourself time to rest, regular chiropractic care is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Together, we’ll decide the rhythm that works best for you and your goals.
Even more insurers reimburse chiropractic care through their supplementary insurance. Want to know what your insurer covers? Check your insurer’s coverage.

Amsterdam loves our chiropractic practice
“I’ve had headaches my whole life and occasional migraines, along with neck and back pain from my full-time office job. Dr. Daniel showed me that chiropractic care is a great alternative to excessive paracetamol use. I’ve been excellently supported from the start, my complaints have reduced significantly, and I now use far less medication.”
“I first came to Solar because of shoulder pain radiating down my arm and hand. I’ve now been coming weekly for 1.5 years and the pain is gone. I feel lighter, more aligned, and peaceful after every visit. Solar has improved my posture, digestion, and body awareness. Daniel truly cares and loves what he does. If you care about your health, Solar is the place to be.”
“Dan is a wonderful chiropractor, he helped me recover after a serious concussion and I’ve continued to see him since. Everyone at the practice is extremely friendly and kind and the atmosphere is very peaceful.”
“I first came to Solar Chiropractic in December 2025 because of persistent neck pain. Since starting care at the clinic, the pain is gone, I have more energy, and I’m sleeping much better. One of my favorite parts of visiting Solar Chiropractic is the routine it has created for me. I walk to the practice, spend time outside, and get a moment for myself before each appointment. It’s become a really positive part of my week.”
“I’ve been a few times now and I notice a huge difference. I’ve always suffered a lot from headaches and migraines, and these complaints have greatly reduced. I can also already feel a difference in my posture (standing more upright). In addition, it’s a beautiful practice and you’re always warmly welcomed. They are very professional. I would recommend this practice to everyone.”
