TMJ Assessment and Management Strategies

Including Craniocervical and Pelvic Interrelationships

A practical, clinically focused seminar for chiropractors

TMJ dysfunction is rarely just about the jaw. This comprehensive seminar explores the temporomandibular joint within the broader cranial, cervical, postural and pelvic system, giving chiropractors practical strategies for recognizing and managing the complex factors that may contribute to TMJ dysfunction.

Presented by David W. Hannah, D.C., D.A.C.O., the seminar moves from foundational anatomy and biomechanics into a systematic clinical approach to assessment, differential considerations, mandibular mechanics and conservative management.

Participants will explore TMJ examination procedures; normal and abnormal opening and closing mechanics; deviation and deflection; disc and mechanical dysfunction; facial and cranial assessment; cervical relationships; ascending and descending postural patterns; pelvic and postural-chain influences; muscle and soft-tissue involvement; mobilization and chiropractic approaches; adjunctive therapies; home-care strategies; airway and myofunctional considerations; and interdisciplinary dental and medical collaboration.

A major emphasis is placed on practical clinical application—helping participants connect examination findings with appropriate management decisions rather than simply learning TMJ theory.

Seminar participants will learn to:

Perform a structured TMJ and craniofacial examination
Recognize common mechanical and functional TMJ presentations
Assess mandibular opening, closing, deviation, deflection and joint sounds
Consider cranial, cervical, postural and pelvic interrelationships
Integrate soft-tissue, mobilization and chiropractic management strategies
Recognize when interdisciplinary collaboration or referral is appropriate
Develop practical home-care and reassessment strategies
Apply the material through clinical examples and case discussions

ASSESS → UNDERSTAND → MANAGE → INTEGRATE

This seminar is designed for chiropractors who want to become more confident examining TMJ patients, improve their clinical reasoning and expand their conservative management options for this frequently overlooked area of practice.

Practical • Evidence-Informed • Clinically Focused

Educational Disclaimer & Commitment to Professional Excellence

The materials provided through Dr. Dad’s Chiropractic Clinical Education are intended for educational and professional development purposes only. They are designed to support chiropractic students, recent graduates, and practicing clinicians in developing their knowledge, clinical reasoning, examination skills, and professional confidence.

These resources are not intended to replace accredited chiropractic education, applicable licensing or regulatory requirements, current clinical guidelines, independent professional judgment, or appropriate consultation with other healthcare professionals. Practitioners and students should always work within their level of training, legal scope of practice, and the standards and regulations applicable to their jurisdiction.

A Commitment to Accuracy — and an Invitation to Help

Every reasonable effort is made to provide information that is accurate, practical, and educationally useful. However, healthcare knowledge, examination requirements, professional standards, terminology, and regulatory requirements continue to evolve. Despite careful preparation and review, errors or omissions may occasionally occur.

If you identify an error, outdated reference, inconsistency, or something that you believe should be clarified or corrected, I sincerely encourage you to contact me.

Constructive feedback is welcomed and appreciated. When an appropriate correction or improvement is identified, I want the opportunity to review the material and revise it so that these educational resources continue to improve.

Why I Created These Resources

My primary goal is not simply to produce study guides or educational products. It is to help advance the chiropractic profession and support the development of knowledgeable, thoughtful, ethical, and clinically capable chiropractors.

The transition from student to clinician is one of the most important periods in a chiropractor’s professional development. My hope is to make that journey clearer, more practical, and more clinically meaningful—helping students connect what they learn in the classroom with the reasoning and responsibilities required in actual patient care.

Ultimately, I want these resources to make a positive contribution toward a chiropractic profession that its students, educators, clinicians, patients, and colleagues throughout healthcare can be proud of and respect.

Education should never stop at graduation. We should continue to learn from the evidence, from our patients, from our colleagues, and from one another.

If you find something that can be improved, please let me know. Helping make these resources better helps all of us move the profession forward.
