Jaw pain

Created by Dr Sonia Rai, Modified on Wed, 9 Apr at 9:48 PM by Dr Sonia Rai

Tension in the muscles around your head, neck, chest, and shoulders can contribute to jaw pain. Jaw pain is typically a symptom resulting from misalignment and tension elsewhere in the upper body.

For example, if your shoulders are rounded forward and you have a forward head posture, this misalignment and poor position pulls on the other muscles around the head and neck and ultimately begins recruiting the jaw muscles as well. Jaw tension and pain then develop over time.


To fix the jaw tension, you would want to address that directly AND work on the other areas that led to it in the first place. Here's how our products can help.


Range: releases tension in the upper traps, suboccipital, and chest muscles; can also be used on the jaw


Postural or alignment issues in the upper body can also be impacted by what is happening lower in the body. If the hips and pelvis are twisted, that impacts the alignment of the spine all the way up to the head and neck area.

Mark: releases the iliacus and psoas muscles with precise pressure, restoring alignment of the front of the hips and pelvis

Orbit: releases the piriformis and other deep hip rotators in the glute region with broad pressure, restoring alignment of the back of the hips and pelvis

Band: helps strengthen key muscles around your core, glutes, and hips to create stability around better alignment

Book: our Founder's book Tight Hip, Twisted Core - The Key to Unresolved Pain offers deeper insights into muscle tension and how it is impacting your pain, helping you understand how to address the root cause


When used consistently over time, the Aletha Health products support less muscle tension, better alignment, and increased strength & stability. This combination has helped many people improve their jaw pain, and we hope it will help you too.


For best results, use the Aletha Health products together and alongside other stretches and exercises. Please check with your healthcare practitioner for which stretches and exercises are most appropriate for you.
