If you hear a clicking or popping sound, or have pain or tenderness in your jaw, you may have TMJ pain. While most people associate chiropractic care with treating issues associated with the neck, back and spine, chiropractic care can also help to relieve pain in your jaw, specifically your temporomandibular joint (TMJ). TMJ can be a common sore spot for many people. Align Your Spine is pleased to offer chiropractic treatment options for TMJ Pain, to help you on the road to pain-free living.
What is TMJ?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull, and acts like a sliding hinge. TMJ disorders can cause pain in your jaw joint and in the muscles that control jaw movement. These disorders of the jaw muscles, temporomandibular joints, and the nerves associated with chronic facial pain, can range from mild to quite severe.
What are Symptoms of TMJ?
- Trouble chewing or talking
- Pain in the jaw
- Headaches
- Neck pain
- Jaw pain
- Clicking or popping when opening and closing the mouth
Chiropractors can help diminish the pain associated with TMJ by helping to alleviate dysfunction and tension in the spine. As they do so, this helps to reduce the pressure on the different nerves, which then alleviates pain associated with TMJ.
