Do you experience discomfort when chewing, talking and even laughing? Are you suffering from jaw pain, headaches, earaches, neck pain or chewing difficulties? If yes, you likely have Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD).
Causes of TMD
Here are some of the common causes of this jaw joint disorder:
- Injury to the joint
- Overuse due to excessive chewing
- Habitual clenching or teeth grinding
- Orthodontics
- Excessive nail biting
- Degenerative joint disease
How We Can Help
While most people suffering from TMD see a dentist or doctor to get relief, it’s possible to help realign the jaw with the help of chiropractic adjustments.
“Chiropractic adjustments for TMD focus on relieving tension in the muscles around the joints using massage and trigger point therapy,” said Dr. Shire.
