Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder is jaw pain with improper jaw tracking that may present with clicking or locking of the jaw when trying to eat or open the mouth. Your pain may be due to a combination of factors, such as genetics, arthritis or jaw injury. Some people who have jaw pain also tend to clench or grind their teeth. The exact cause of TMJ disorder is best diagnosed by a doctor of chiropractic. In most cases, the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders is temporary and can be relieved with nonsurgical treatments, such as specialized chiropractic care and rehabilitative exercises.
While chiropractic care for TMJ may not be your first instinct, Focused on You Chiropractic in Round Rock & Austin, TX can help you find the cause of your problem and alleviate your pain.
