Our Approach
Treating the jaw at its source
TMJ pain is rarely just the jaw joint — it’s the muscles, the neck, and the habits around it. As a Knoxville TMJ specialist, we use skilled hands-on care inside and outside the jaw to calm the pain and restore normal movement.
We don’t just chase the symptom — we find what’s driving it, treat it directly, and give you a plan so it doesn’t keep coming back.
What treatment looks like
Intra- and extra-oral manual therapy
Dry needling where it’s appropriate
Neck, posture & breathing retraining
Habit change to stop the clench-pain cycle
In Their Words
Real relief, in their words
I was referred to Michael Blair by an ENT due to years worth of severe TMJ pain. Since day 1, I have felt confident I was getting top of the line care… my pain levels have significantly decreased for the first time in many years.

Michael at Rogue Physio is a wonderful physical therapist that is highly skilled in specialized treatments, such as TMJ. One of the most thoughtful, interested, and caring physical therapists that I have ever had. I would highly recommend him and his staff!

I see Dr. Michael Blair for my TMJ and neck pain related to TMJ. I found out very quickly how knowledgeable he is in treating TMJ… I have less pain already and I’m feeling better every day.
