The TMJ Connection

TMJ Symptoms

Symptoms range from chronic headaches and facial pain, to tinnitus (ringing in the ears), to outright hearing loss and neck or shoulder pain. Factors such as nail biting, bad posture, or psychological stress can lead to TMJ trauma. Stress and sleep disorders exacerbate jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism) at night, a strong contributing factor to joint damage and chronic headaches and backaches.
