I started Chiropractic treatment a month ago and am now experiencing jaw pain..?

Has anyone else had this experience? I started treatment a little over a month ago, just general chiropractic check-ups, based on a referral by my primary care physician for stress and anxiety.

It HAS done wonders for that, along with a new dietary plan and lifestyle changes, but I’ve been experiencing on and off jaw pain, moderate to severe at times, when trying to close my jaw (as when chewing) or sometimes when I open it too wide. It kind of varies. I went back yesterday and she used some sort of tool that taps on the sides of my neck and jaw several times, and said something about a rotating atlas (or something like that), but it doesn’t seem to have helped much.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
