Have you been told you have TMJ?

There are over 190+ causes of head and neck pain, only some of which are caused by a damaged jaw joint. The Temporomandibular Joint is the joint between the temporal bone and mandible and is abbreviated “TMJ”.

Being told you have TMJ is the same as being told you have knee or you have elbow. TMJ is not a diagnosis on which you can base treatment. TMD is another term that is often misused. It stands for Temporomandibular Disorders, a very broad term referring to many different diseases causing pain in the head and neck area. 

The TMJ is a synovial joint of the human body and will undergo the same diseases as any other joint. There are 40+ different diseases that can occur inside a joint. I use an orthopedic approach to diagnosing and treating damaged TMJs. Not all damaged TMJs need treatment, but some do.
