TMD, headaches and Neck pain
TMD: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD)
is a condition that causes pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint, osseous
components and muscles that control the jaw movements.
Like any other problem in the world TMD is also multifactorial. One of the very common structural associations with TMD is the posterior positioning of the TMJ on the side with symptoms.
TMDs are diagnosed primarily by CBCT. NOT panoramic Xray.
The posterior positioning or asymmetrical positioning of the TMJ or lower jaw can cause cervical spine misalignments through muscle activities, which in turn can cause disc dislocation and nerve impingement in the spine and cause multiple symptoms associated with TMDs, including Migraine headaches and neck and shoulder pain.
The treatment of TMD’s depending on the severity of the problem and anatomical and structural changes occurred are different. Each patient needs to be evaluated and treated accordingly.
