Whyte Avenue Chiropractic & Wellness Centre

Join us in supporting SMILE Edmonton. 🧡

From May 15 to June 30, we’ll be accepting cash donations at the front desk inside Whyte Avenue Chiropractic & Wellness Centre in support of SMILE Edmonton.

SMILE is a local volunteer-run organization that supports Edmontonians facing adversity, particularly members of the unhoused community, by distributing meals, blankets, essential items, and monetary donations.

This year, all cash donations collected through our clinic will be matched by Andy, a generous community member.

Our goal is to raise $500 in cash donations to help support their work in our community.

How to donate:
Leave a cash donation at the front desk during your next visit to Whyte Avenue Chiropractic & Wellness Centre, Rehoboth Health & Wellness, Aim2Heal Physiotherapy, or Whyte Ave Psychology.

Every little bit helps... and together, we can make a meaningful impact.

Please note: Only funds collected directly through the shared front desk between May 15 and June 30, 2026, will be matched.

Small daily habits can make a BIG difference when it comes to managing TMJ dysfunction 👏

If you’ve been diagnosed with TMJ dysfunction, here are some important do’s and don’ts that may help reduce stress on the jaw and surrounding muscles.

✔️ Support your jaw while yawning
✔️ Maintain good posture
✔️ Keep your teeth slightly apart at rest
✔️ Use your night guard if prescribed
✔️ Focus on nasal breathing and tongue posture

And avoid habits like:
❌ Clenching or intentionally clicking your jaw
❌ Nail biting or chewing pens/gum
❌ Slouching and forward head posture
❌ Taking very large bites or chewing hard foods

TMJ dysfunction can look different for everyone, which is why proper assessment is so important. Treatment should always be individualized based on the root cause and symptoms present.

Your jaw doesn’t work alone… muscles, posture, and movement patterns all play a major role in TMJ dysfunction. 👀

The masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid, and lateral pterygoid muscles help you chew, speak, yawn, and open your mouth. When these muscles become tight, overactive, weak, or imbalanced, they can contribute to:

✔️ Jaw clicking or clunking
✔️ Pain with chewing or yawning
✔️ Limited mouth opening
✔️ Headaches and facial tension
✔️ Teeth clenching or grinding

The good news: if the cause is musculoskeletal, physiotherapy treatment may help improve symptoms through assessment, manual therapy, exercises, posture correction, and education.
