TMJ Therapy

If you’ve experienced pain in your facial muscles or neck, you may have TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder. For people who have this condition, the pain can even spread to the shoulders. Your jaw joints may be overstretched, causing pain and spasms or making clicking, grating, or other noises when moved.

The TMJ connects the jaw to the skull just below the ears. Problems in this area can be caused by trauma, like clenching of the jaw or grinding of the teeth, and osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The degree of pain resulting from the disorder can vary from minor to severe; some patients experience pain every time they speak. Headaches and dizziness can also be caused by TMJ disorder.
