The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the jaw to the skull and works thousands of times a day. Problems here rarely stay in the jaw: headaches, ringing in the ears and neck and shoulder tension often come with them. Fzt. Bilal Kara assesses the jaw together with the upper cervical vertebrae — particularly the atlas — and the neck muscles.
Fzt. Bilal Kara provides one-to-one care for tmj & atlas therapy at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.
It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.
During intense training periods, increased stress and concentration turn into teeth grinding and jaw-muscle tightness in many athletes without them noticing; head and jaw pain therefore usually overlaps with periods of in-season intensity.
Fzt. Bilal Kara assesses manual therapy for the jaw muscles together with neck and upper-back tightness — in an athlete, these areas rarely work independently of each other. If night-time teeth grinding is pronounced, it's run together with the dentist.
