TMJ Syndrome
Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) affects the TMJ, causing pain from muscle imbalances, disc issues, or joint problems. It is common in people aged 20-50 and more frequent in females. Symptoms include jaw clicking, limited movement, locking, and pain, which often worsens with chewing. TMD pain typically originates near the ear but can radiate to the face, head, neck, and shoulders. Many TMD patients also suffer from headaches.
Jaw pain can sometimes be linked to neck issues, headaches, or teeth grinding, especially at night. Poor posture, stress, and whiplash can also contribute to TMD. Tight or misaligned neck muscles and joints can refer pain to the jaw, and occasionally, jaw pain may occur without direct jaw problems.
