How Can Chiropractic Help TMJ?

Do you have jaw pain?

You may have Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ). TMJ affects the temporomandibular joints located on each side of your jaw and the muscles that move them. These joints connect the jawbone to the skull and help you open and close your mouth.

What Causes TMJ?

The joint where the jawbone and skull connect is covered with cartilage and the bones are separated between a small disc, like the discs between your vertebrae. TMJ can occur if the disc wears down or moves out of alignment. TMJ can also be caused by arthritis and trauma to the joint. While the cause of TMJ is different for everyone, if you grind your teeth, clench your jaw, or have family members with TMJ, you may have a higher chance of experiencing it yourself.
