Symptoms of TMJD
TMJ disorder (TMD/TMJD) traditionally presents itself as:
• Recurring headaches
• Limited range of motion
• Joint pain or stiffness
• Earaches
• Popping or clicking
• Pain following a physical injury
• Neck, shoulder, and back pain
Although most of us experience TMJ from time to time, not everyone has TMD.
What Causes TMJ Disorder?
More often than not, TMJ disorder is the result of irregular joint movement or physical trauma. Something as simple as misaligned teeth or a clenching habit could strain your joints enough that they cannot function normally after years of repeated strain.
Types of Treatment for TMJ Pain
Fortunately, non-surgical therapies provide the best outcome for most cases of TMD. By addressing neuromuscular aspects of your smile — ranging from tooth alignment to incorporating splint therapy — we can treat the source of your TMJ pain and help prevent it from recurring.
