🤯 TMJ Disorders and Whole-Body Health
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders are more than just a “jaw problem.” Because the jaw joint connects to muscles, nerves, and even your posture, TMJ dysfunction can cause surprising whole-body effects:
👉 Chronic headaches or migraines
👉 Shoulder and neck tension
👉 Ear ringing, popping, or dizziness
👉 Sleep issues caused by grinding or clenching
Left untreated, TMJ disorders can impact eating, speaking, and even your mood due to ongoing discomfort. But the good news is, effective solutions exist. From custom bite guards to modern therapies that address muscle strain, relief is possible.
