From Jaw Pain to Relief: Physical Therapy for Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ)
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ) are conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movements. This condition can make simple activities like chewing, talking, and even smiling uncomfortable or painful. TMJ disorders can arise from various factors, including injury to the jaw, arthritis, genetics, or habitual behaviors like teeth grinding and jaw clenching.
