TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) pain is a common issue with a wide range of symptoms depending on the cause. For some, it stems from jaw muscle tension; for others, a displaced or clicking joint disk may be involved, with or without pain. Accurate diagnosis is important since TMJ health is closely linked to the ear, head, and neck. Effective assessment and management can relieve pain and improve quality of life, especially when other treatments haven’t worked.
Symptoms of This Condition:
Jaw Pain When Moving
Limited Jaw Motion
Difficulty chewing
Speech difficulties
Feeling of pressure in the ear
Ringing in the ear
Dizziness
Voice changes
Neck pain/stiffness or soreness
Vision changes
