What is TMJ
The first step to living a comfortable life again is understanding your diagnosis. The Temporomandibular Joint is the structural component of your body that is responsible for the blood and nerve flow of your head and brain. As the most complex joint in the body, any damage to the area causes a direct “blow” to the brain tissue every time you chew or bite your teeth together. While this damage may not manifest in obvious ways, it is often responsible for migraines, headaches, and other head pain-related issues.
The Temporomandibular Joint remains one of the most poorly understood joints in the human body. Many people, including dentists and doctors, continue to wrongfully believe that this joint needs to make popping and clicking noises to be considered damaged. However, chronic pain sufferers often have no symptoms of TMJ disorder.
Understanding TMJ & Jaw Pain
The temporomandibular joint connects your jaw to your skull and plays a critical role in everyday movement like chewing and speaking. When this joint becomes strained, misaligned, or overworked, it can cause pain that spreads well beyond the jaw.
Because the TMJ is closely connected to nerves, muscles, and blood flow in the head and neck, dysfunction can trigger headaches, facial pain, ear symptoms, and neck tension.
