Orthopedic Dysfunction

Understanding Orthopedic Dysfunction and Its Connection to TMJ

Most people are familiar with TMJ related pain, but for some individuals this problem can become something much more serious. Referred to as TMJ related orthopedic dysfunction, it involves not just the joints and muscles known to cause jaw problems, but also parts of the spine and neck. Symptoms include overall dull aches in the head and neck region that can be exacerbated with everyday activities such as chewing or speaking. Chronic grinding of the teeth at night – a condition called bruxism – can make these issues worse, leading to possible shoulder pain. Thankfully there are ways to treat this disorder; through physical therapy, lifestyle adjustments, splint therapy and other techniques many of those suffering with TMJ related orthopedic dysfunction find relief from pain or even completely healing themselves with time.
