ARE YOU EXPERIENCING JAW PAIN?

THE SOURCE COULD BE TMJ DYSFUNCTION

Do you have trouble opening your mouth when eating or yawning? When you open or close your mouth, do you hear a popping sound? You may have TMJ dysfunction and may benefit from massage therapy.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is also referred to as the jaw. It is the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. Injury or dysfunction in the TMJ, like in other joints, can cause pain and disability.

Pain and difficulty moving are symptoms of TMJ dysfunction. For some, the joint prevents normal mouth opening; for others, the joint can become stuck, making all movements painful. The muscles surrounding the joint may also become stiff and sore. A dysfunctional TMJ joint can cause headaches or neck tension in severe cases.

The good news is that massage therapy can assist you in reducing your jaw pain!
