SUFFERING FROM JAW PAIN?

Jaw pain, often referred to as TMJ pain, typically arises from trauma to the neck and head, such as whiplash or concussion injuries. In the early stages, most cases of jaw pain stem from mechanical dysfunction and irritation of the muscles and joint structures of the temporomandibular (TM) joint. This can lead to inflammation, muscle spasms, and an imbalance in the jaw muscles.

UNDERSTANDING JAW PAIN

Jaw pain can result from various factors, including:

• Trauma to the head or neck

• Inflammation of the TM joint structures

• Muscle spasm or imbalance in the jaw muscles

If left untreated, these factors can lead to chronic pain and discomfort, affecting your ability to eat, speak, and enjoy life.
