TMJ Dysfunction
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction primarily affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, leading to pain, stiffness, and difficulty with jaw movement that can worsen over time if left untreated. Due to the interconnected nature of the musculoskeletal system, however, the condition can also impact the ears, head, and neck. Caused by arthritis, jaw misalignment, teeth grinding (bruxism), stress, or trauma to the joint, the symptoms of TMJ dysfunction often include:
- Jaw pain
- Clicking or popping sounds
- Headaches
- Ear pain
- Difficulty chewing or fully opening the mouth
