We at the Thorne Road Chiropractic Clinic can assist with pain in the jaw, using effective techniques to reduce or even eliminate the discomfort.

TMJ Chiropractic Adjustment TMJ (Temporomandibular joint and muscle disorder )

The TMJs are by far the most common cause of jaw pain. Millions of people suffer from this condition, which affects the temporomandibular joints on the sides of your face. Pain can occur in one or both of these hinge joints.

Possible causes of TMJ pain include pain from the muscles controlling jaw movement, an injury to the jaw joint, overstimulation of the jaw joint, a displaced disc in the jaw, and arthritis of the disc in the jaw.

Many people develop TMJ due to grinding their teeth or chewing excessively, both of which can cause the muscles in the jaw to become sore and the cartilage in your jaw joint to wear down and become misaligned. The temporomandibular joint becomes unable to do its job properly, leading to pain and discomfort.
