It is not normal to experience pain, clicking or locking in the jaw with opening and closing. You may be living with this without realizing there is help.
TMJ can create stress and tension in the whole system - it can create neck or low back pain and affect your breathing, chewing, speaking, swallowing or your digestion as well. Furthermore, dysfunction in the jaw could be having an effect on your posture and contributing to pain in other areas. It can work both ways -- if the jaw is the main problem, your neck, back and shoulders are adapting around it, but in can be that the jaw is adapting to tension somewhere else in the body.
By conducting an assessment, we can figure out a treatment plan to get it sorted out.
