Do you have jaw pain? TMJ dysfunction could be the source.

Do you find it difficult to open your mouth to eat or yawn? When you open or close your mouth, do you hear a popping sound? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you might be suffering from TMJ dysfunction.

The temporomandibular joint is the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. TMJ dysfunction is a condition that causes pain and stiffness in the jaw joint and the muscles that surround it.

The good news is that with physical therapy, your jaw pain can be eliminated! Contact Comprehensive Orthopedic Physical Therapy in Somerset, NJ today to schedule an appointment with one of our skilled physical therapists.


How can I tell if I have TMJ dysfunction?

TMJ dysfunction is typically diagnosed by a doctor or dentist. Our physical therapists, however, can examine your medical history and perform tests to determine whether TMJ dysfunction is causing your pain.

TMJ pain is commonly caused by teeth misalignment, gum chewing, arthritis, teeth grinding, or jaw injury.

TMJ disorder symptoms include:

  • Earaches
  • Jaw pain
  • Pain with eating
  • Pain with chewing
  • Jaw popping
  • Headaches
  • Sore jaw muscles
  • Lockjaw
  • Pain in the temples

Are you experiencing any of these symptoms? If so, please contact our Somerset, NJ physical therapy clinic for pain relief.
