What is TMJ?
TMJ or (Temporomandibular joint syndrome) is a condition where pain and discomfort occur in the jaw joint. TMJ is most often present where the lower jaw connects to the skull, located in front of your ear.
Many factors can contribute to TMJ, including:
- Misalignment of the jaw
- Misalignment of teeth
- Arthritis
- Stress
- Injury to the teeth or jaw
In our practice, it is common to see TMJ as a result of a car accident. This can occur for multiple reasons. If you didn’t have a seatbelt on or if a severe impact was sustained, your head may have hit the dashboard or steering wheel, causing significant injury to the jaw. Even if direct contact didn’t occur, clinching in anticipation of impact can damage the jaw joint. TMJ relief is your goal as well as ours, regardless of cause.
TMJ Pain Treatment
Our doctors offer several treatment options to achieve TMJ relief for our patients.
Chiropractic care may be a recommended treatment option for keeping our patients from sustaining further injury or pain. Ultrasound therapy may also be recommended for TMJ relief. This is used to reduce fluid buildup and inflammation. Chiropractic manipulation is a gentle force applied to the jaw area to help realign the joint, providing TMJ relief.
TMJ Symptoms
TMJ can not only be painful but can also make everyday activities a struggle, yawning, laughing, sleeping, and eating can all be limited due to the pain of TMJ.
