🤕 How could your jaw be the cause of your headaches?
It’s all connected.
The TMJ (temporomandibular joint) — the small hinge that connects your jaw to your skull — sits right beside major muscles, nerves, and blood vessels in your head and neck.
When your jaw is tight, misaligned, or overworked (think clenching, grinding, or stress), it can:
💢 Create tension in your face, temples, and neck
⚡ Compress nearby nerves that trigger headaches
🌀 Lead to muscle imbalances that strain your posture
That’s why jaw tension can cause headaches, ear pain, neck stiffness, or even dizziness — all from one small joint.
