Be careful! A sensitive or tender jaw joint could be a sign of ‪‎TMJ‬ disorders.

[Harvey Chin]

TMJ disorder can be extremely painful if left untreated. Hormonal imbalances, traumatic injuries to the face and neck, and continually clenching the teeth are all predominant causes of TMJ. If a person has been diagnosed with TMJ disorder, the first thing they should is evaluate their own habits. Chewing gum or eating foods that are extremely chewy can cause symptoms flare.

Treatment for TMJ disorders may vary from person to person. A few of the best treatment options include:

• Night Guards
• Massage
• Physical Therapy
• Osteopathic Manipulative Technique
• Acupuncture
