TMJ Issues

Are you experiencing jaw pain? The source could be TMJ dysfunction.

Do you have trouble opening your mouth when eating or yawning? When you open or close your mouth, do you hear a popping sound? You may be dealing with TMJ dysfunction and could benefit from osteopathic treatment to address it.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), also known as the jaw joint, connects your jawbone to your skull. Just like other joints, dysfunction or injury in the TMJ can cause pain and disability.

Symptoms of TMJ dysfunction include pain and difficulty moving the jaw. For some, the joint may prevent normal mouth opening, while for others, it can become stuck, causing all movements to be painful. The muscles around the joint may also become stiff and sore. In severe cases, TMJ dysfunction can lead to headaches or neck tension.

The good news is that osteopathic treatment can help relieve your jaw pain! Make an appointment with one of our skilled osteopaths at Osteopathic Perfect Balance Medical Center in Abu Dhabi today.
