TMJ treatment
relief from jaw pain & discomfort
If you’re experiencing stiffness or pain in your jaw, or an inability to open your mouth all the way, you may be suffering from temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). TMJ can be caused by a wide range of issues, so treatment for the disorder varies from patient to patient.
TMJ Disorder happens when the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) between the jaws malfunctions. When this happens, simple tasks such as eating or speaking can become painful so it should not be taken lightly.
Recognizing the Signs
The most common symptoms are pain and tenderness in your jaw, face, neck, and ear. If you have TMJ/TMD, you may also experience difficulty opening your mouth all the way, along with “popping” or “clicking” sounds coming from your jaw. It might also be difficult to bite properly, and your jaw may get stuck in a certain position from time to time.
