T.M.J (Jaw Joint Disorders)
Temporomandibular joint disorders, or TMJ, refer to a group of conditions that affect the jaw and the muscles that control its movement. These disorders can cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw, face, and neck.
Symptoms of TMJ disorders may include pain or tenderness in the jaw, clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing, difficulty opening the mouth, and headaches. In some cases, people may also experience earaches, dizziness, or ringing in the ears.
Treatment for TMJ disorders may include a combination of medications, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery, along with self-care measures such as eating soft foods, practicing relaxation techniques, and applying ice or heat to the affected area.
If you are experiencing symptoms of TMJ disorder, it is important to meet with a qualified healthcare professional to receive a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. With the right treatment plan, most people can find relief from TMJ-related pain and dysfunction and improve their overall quality of life.
