TMJ Treatment
If you suffer from pain in your jaw and face, experience “popping” sounds when you chew and talk, or occasionally have headaches or lockjaw, then you may have a Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, or TMJ. TMJ affects more than ten million people in the U.S. alone and is more than just painful; over time it can cause serious damage to your jaws and teeth.
TMJ is a common term used to describe disorders of the jaw joints or the muscles that control them. Those who experience TMJ may be unaware that they even have it, as symptoms masquerade as a host of other health problems such as sinus headaches, migraines, neck and shoulder stiffness, and earaches.
