TMJ Dysfunction & Jaw Pain Relief in Edmonton
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most frequently used joints in the body, allowing for essential movements like chewing, speaking, and yawning. Despite its importance, TMJ dysfunction is often overlooked as a cause of upper cervical pain, headaches, and even ear-related symptoms.
When this joint becomes irritated or misaligned, it can lead to a wide range of discomfort and dysfunction.
Common symptoms of TMJ disorders include:
-
Pain or tenderness in the jaw
-
Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening the mouth
-
Headaches or migraines
-
Sore or tight jaw muscles
-
Jaw locking or difficulty opening the mouth
-
Pain near the temple or ear (sometimes mistaken for an earache)
