TMJ Syndrome is known for jaw pain and compromised movement which is particularly frustrating because it is felt all the time. Be it talking or chewing or changes in certain facial expressions. At Chirolink, we like to look at this as a ‘bitten off more than you can chew’ condition. Why? It is brought on by stress – mechanical stress of actually biting off more than you can chew (trauma) or overall systemic stress causing grinding or clenching (bitten off more than you can chew with life in general). When you have it, you know about it, and no matter the cause, it shouldn’t be left alone – seeking treatment is the best thing you can do for yourself.
