Did you know that disorders of the temporomandibular joint (the TMJ) can cause migraine pain and headaches? The TMJ is responsible for more daily activity and capable of a greater range of motion than any other joint in the body. Because of these two facts, the temporomandibular joint has a higher risk of malfunctioning and creating associated problems, like migraines and headaches. When this joint is problematic (be it because of tightness, fatigue or imbalances in bite pattern) it can affect the ears, head, neck, and many other areas of the body.

What is TMJ?

TMJ is a disorder of the jaw joints in which the jaw and bite alignment malfunction. The mandibular bone [lower jaw] is designed to slide and rotate to provide range of motion when chewing and speaking. The causes of TMJ can include:

  • grinding of the teeth
  • clenching of the jaw
  • highly stressful lifestyle
  • age-related wear down of the jaw bone and joint
  • hyper mobile ligaments
  • arthritic conditions
  • cranial-sacral distortions.
