TMJ Disorder
Do you have clicking, popping or pain in your jaw? If yes, it could be temporomandibular joint syndrome / disorder or for short TMJ/TMD.
Many symptoms are frequently undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as migraine headaches, tension, pain, neuritis, neuralgia or stress headaches. These are just a few of the symptoms associated with TMJ/TMD.
TMJ disorder is not a specific jaw disorder, but a term used to describe a host of different symptoms that radiate from jaw joint dysfunction. When the joint, muscles and nerves in the jaw are put under pressure, due to an imbalance or poor positioning, it can cause a wide variety of functional and pain symptoms.
What makes TMJ difficult to diagnose and treat is the variety of symptoms that can be linked to this syndrome. While the jaw is the location of the disorder, it is not just pain and dysfunction in the jaw that are experienced. In addition to clicking, popping, locking and pain in the jaw, those with TMJ may also have other symptoms, including:
- Headaches and migraines
- Pressure behind the eyes and eye sensitivity
- Earaches, tinnitus and dizziness
- Sleeping problems
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Chewing issues
- Sore throat or laryngitis
