TMJ - The Great Imposter

Because the symptoms of TMJ dysfunction mimic so many other afflictions, incorrect diagnosis often results in needless suffering and disabilities.

Structural and postural imbalances consequential to accidents can affect the relationship between the lower jaw (mandible) to the head, neck, and spine. Emotional stress seems to exacerbate symptoms which include:

Persistent Headaches                        Hearing loss
Neckaches                                             Pain in chewing
Earaches                                                Pain in the face or jaws
Tinnitus (Ringing in the ear)               Dizziness
Clicking noise in jaw joints                 Limited mouth opening
Difficulty when swallowing                  Dental disturbances

Some of the co-morbid conditions with TMJDs include: chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, sleep disturbances, rheumatoid arthritis, and generalized pain conditions.
