Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder, also known as TMD, refers to dysfunction or pain in the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. TMJ disorders can cause a variety of symptoms, including jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, difficulty chewing, and even locking of the jaw. Treatments for TMJ disorders vary depending on the severity of the condition and can include non-invasive therapies, medications, physical therapy, and, in more severe cases, surgery. The goal of TMJ treatment is to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore proper function to the jaw joint.
