TMJ and Headache Pain (Jaw Joint Treatment)

Pain in the facial muscles and jaw joints may radiate to the neck or shoulders. Joints may be overstretched. You may experience muscle spasms from TMJ syndrome. You may feel pain every time you talk, chew, or yawn. Pain usually appears in the joint itself, in front of the ear, but it may move elsewhere in the skull, face, or jaw.

When the joints move, you may hear sounds, such as clicking, grating, and/or popping. Others may also be able to hear the sounds. Clicking and popping are common. This means the disc may be in an abnormal position.  Headaches and or Migraines can also be a sign of TMJ syndrome.  If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, Dr Chilton is highly trained in TMJ syndrome.  He will be able to evaluate and treat accordingly to help you be able to live a normal healthy life style.
