Expert TMJ Physical Therapy in Burke, VA
You've seen the dentist. You've tried the night guard. Maybe you've even been to another PT clinic — and you're still in pain. At NoVaMotion Physical Therapy, our board-certified TMJ and orofacial pain specialists take the time to find the real source of your symptoms and treat it with one-on-one, hands-on care. No aides. No rushed appointments. Just expert, individualized treatment so you can get back to living your life — not managing your pain.
Still Living with Jaw Pain, Dizziness, or Pelvic Pain?
Too many patients spend months — even years — bouncing between providers without lasting relief. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you're not out of options.
Your Pain Keeps Coming Back
You've completed treatment elsewhere, but the jaw tension, headaches, or pelvic discomfort never fully resolves — because the underlying cause was never properly identified or addressed.
You Feel Rushed and Unheard
In-network clinics move fast. You share a room with other patients, your therapist is juggling three people at once, and you leave each visit feeling like just another appointment on the schedule.
You're Not Sure Where to Turn Next
Your dentist sent you to a specialist, your specialist suggested PT, and now you're searching for TMJ physical therapy near me — hoping this time, someone will actually listen and get it right.

"Not only has my facial pain resolved, but she really took the time to address the underlying causes instead of just treating the symptoms. Her use of dry needling combined with corrective exercises and hands-on treatment made a huge difference. I truly feel like I have my life back."
— Zara N., Burke, VA

"She was patient with me and together we formulated a plan to get my jaw back to a normal range. Every session we updated exercises as necessary to make sure I was getting what I needed. 6 sessions later I officially don't need surgery for my TMJ. Thank you so much!"
— Morel A
"I saw Shira for several months following arthroscopic TMJ surgery. I left each session feeling better than before. I'm now pain-free and have full range of motion in my jaw. I'm grateful to Shira and her knowledge, skills, and abilities that got me here!"
— Matt
"We had very complex cases with chronic pain, and we have both seen significant improvements. Shira really stands apart from others in her field for orofacial pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your first visit to our TMJ physical therapy clinic in Burke, VA.
Why is NoVaMotion out-of-network, and what does that mean for me?
NoVaMotion operates as a self-pay, out-of-network clinic — which means insurance companies don't dictate your visit length, the number of visits you receive, or the treatments your therapist recommends. You and your therapist make those decisions together, based on your needs. The result is typically fewer, more effective visits than you'd experience in a standard in-network setting. We accept FSA and HSA payments and provide assistance with out-of-network reimbursement so you can submit claims to your insurer directly.
What happens on a Free Discovery Call?
A Discovery Call is a complimentary, no-commitment phone consultation — typically 10–15 minutes. You'll speak directly with a member of our team, describe your symptoms and history, and ask any questions you have. We'll let you know honestly whether NoVaMotion is the right fit for what you're experiencing, and help you decide on next steps. There's no pressure and no obligation.
How is NoVaMotion different from a general physical therapy clinic?
Most PT clinics are generalists. NoVaMotion is built specifically around three areas of advanced specialization: TMJ/orofacial pain and cervicogenic headaches, pelvic health, and vestibular rehabilitation. Our therapists hold certifications you won't find at most clinics — including the CCTT (Certified Cervical & Temporomandibular Therapist) designation, held by only a small number of PTs in all of Northern Virginia. Every session is one-on-one with your therapist, never with an aide.
