Are you familiar with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) located right in front of your ear? If this becomes inflamed, dislocated or arthritic, you can suffer from pain in the face, neck or head or poor function in this joint. Your jaw could be hard to open or close or could even lock in place.
This kind of problem is called “temporomandibular joint disorder” or “TMD.”
We can help diagnose this problem and provide you with treatment that eases the pain and returns the joint to full function. Talk to us if you experience pain in the area, difficulty chewing, tenderness in the jaw or even a locked jaw.
