TMJ Q & A
by Evan Hughes, D.C.
What is TMJ and How Do I Know If I Have This Condition?
TMJ is the short name for the temporomandibular joint. This joint works like a sliding hinge that holds your jawbone to your skull. If it is unable to slide without pain or dysfunction this is a sign that you are suffering from TMJ syndrome. Individuals who have TMJ dysfunction commonly complain of jaw pain especially when chewing food. When left untreated TMJ can create a clicking sound when you extend your jaw. Severe TMJ problems can cause headaches, tooth ware, neck pain, and sleeping problems.
What Do I Do If I Think I Have TMJ?
If you think you have TMJ problems the first step toward treatment is to visit your chiropractor in Boxborough, MA. Here at Boxborough Vitality Dr. Hughes can provide you with a diagnosis and all-natural care for TMJ. The treatments for TMJ can include cranial work, spinal adjusting, and pelvic balancing. Dr. Hughes has found that in a high number of cases, pelvic balancing has resulted in a significant reduction in tension and pain associated with TMJ.
What is the Best Treatments for TMJ as Offered by a Chiropractor in Boxborough, MA?
