Jaw pain or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be very frustrating. It can strike the young or the old, and the cause might be hard to determine.
Jaw pain can make your life miserable. If you’re suffering, we understand, and we would like to help with TMJ treatment.
When you have jaw pain, eating can difficult, you will often have headaches related to jaw pain, and sleep can be disturbed.
WHAT ARE THE
CAUSES
OF JAW PAIN
TMJ can be caused by a couple of things
The actual jaw joint can have the same problems knees and shoulders can. This joint can wear out, and when you use it, it can cause pain. Simply chewing or opening your mouth will cause discomfort. If the joint continues to wear out there can be a popping.
The other problem can be if you clench or brux your teeth at night. This will put extra pressure through the jaw and create discomfort.
The TMJ specialists at Back to Motion in Denver, can help detect the problem and design a solution.
