TMJ & TMD Joint Pain

Our TMJ joint, along with our muscles of mastication control the opening and closing of our jawbone. Sometimes, this joint can become inflamed or damaged from a variety of causes such as injury, stress, arthritis, misaligned teeth and anatomy. If you notice pain upon opening/closing, clicking, popping, grinding or limited opening you may be suffering from temporomandibular dysfunction. Treatment remedies include physical therapy, medication and lastly surgery.
