Overview
What is Temporomandibular Joint Pain (TMD)?
In temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD), the interaction between the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles, and nervous system is disrupted. This manifests as jaw, facial, or head pain and is often closely linked to the neck and stress. Physiotherapy is a central component of treatment, frequently in collaboration with your dentist.
Typical Symptoms
Pain in the temporomandibular joint or masticatory muscles, clicking or grinding when chewing, restricted mouth opening, often accompanied by head, neck, or ear complaints. Nocturnal teeth grinding is frequently involved.
Possible Causes
Teeth grinding and clenching (often stress-related), temporomandibular joint dysfunction, muscular tension, and connections to the cervical spine.
