TMJ Neck Pain
Neck pain is a common yet often misunderstood symptom of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. TMJ dysfunction occurs when the jaw joints, muscles, and ligaments that support them become misaligned or inflamed, which can result in pain that radiates beyond the jaw to the neck and shoulders. This pain is often caused by the strain placed on the surrounding muscles and ligaments as the body compensates for the misalignment. People experiencing TMJ-related neck pain may notice stiffness, muscle spasms, or a feeling of tension that makes it difficult to turn their head or hold a comfortable posture.
Common symptoms associated with TMJ-related neck pain include chronic headaches, shoulder discomfort, tingling in the arms, and jaw tenderness. Some individuals also report clicking or popping sounds when they move their jaw, difficulty chewing, or a sensation that their jaw is locking. Left untreated, this pain can impact daily activities, disrupt sleep, and diminish overall quality of life.
