Do You Need TMJ Rehab?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is crucial for everyday activities like eating, speaking, and chewing. When this joint becomes misaligned or strained, it can lead to temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD), causing pain and limiting your quality of life.
Common TMJ Symptoms Include:
- Pain in the jaw
- Pain in front of the ear
- Clicking or popping
- Locking of the jaw
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Muscle spasms
Causes of TMJ Pain
Jaw pain can happen due to a variety of reasons. Some of the most common causes include:
Teeth Grinding
Grinding of the teeth at night can lead to wear and tear of the teeth, as well as persistent jaw pain. Often, your dentist will recommend a night guard for protection. However, you may still experience muscular pain due to the clenching of your jaw at night.
Poor Posture
Everything in the body is connected! Unfortunately, perpetually poor posture can lead to jaw pain. For example, forward head posture (also called “text neck”) can lead to tension in the muscles around the neck and, eventually, jaw pain.
Direct Trauma
Trauma directly applied to the jaw joint or muscles around the jaw can lead to TMJ pain. Even if the injury initially heals, scarring or mobility issues can lead to pain in this area.
