Are you struggling with persistent jaw pain? You might be dealing with TMJ pain, a common issue that affects millions. As a Cardiff chiropractor specialising in TMJ disorders, I've helped many patients find relief from this frustrating condition.
What is TMJ Pain?
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint—the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint isn't working properly, it can cause pain and discomfort known as TMJ disorder.
Common Symptoms
TMJ pain can manifest in various ways:
Jaw pain or tenderness
Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth wide
Clicking or popping sounds when moving your jaw
Headaches or earaches
Neck and shoulder pain
What Causes TMJ Pain?
Several factors can contribute to TMJ pain:
Stress and teeth grinding
Poor posture
Injury to the jaw
Arthritis
