WHAT IS TMJ?

TMJ is a number of issues that hinder the temporomandibular joint in your jaw. Connecting your jaw and your skull, this joint tends to be where issues lie with muscle and ligaments when struggling with movement of the jaw.

Common symptoms of TMJ include pain involving the jaw, cheek, and teeth, a clicking noise when using the jaw, jaw locking up, or a limited range of motion in your jaw. Sometimes you may encounter that your teeth will not come together correctly while your mouth is closed. Individuals with TMJ have also reported headaches, trouble hearing, dizziness, and ear pain.

CAUSES OF TMJ

When you schedule a consultation, your Renton WA chiropractor will go in-depth to discover the causes of your TMJ. Common causes include a dislocated jaw or trauma, physical or emotional pressure and possibly going to the dentist or orthodontist because they require you to leave your mouth wide open for an extended period of time. TMJ from emotional stress is typically caused by clenched teeth. Women are four times as likely to experience TMJ compared to men.
