The joint that connects your jaw to your skull is known as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). When this joint is out of alignment, it can cause a myriad of problems that you may not realize are being caused by your jaw. Your TMJ is a part of a huge mass of muscles that connect your neck, back, and shoulders to your face and skull. All of these muscles can be negatively affected when your TMJ is misaligned, so you may be experiencing symptms that you don’t necessarily associate with your jaw. A TMJ disorder can result in jaw pain, popping or clicking; ear pain or tinnitus; eye pain, sinus pressure, neck pain, back pain, and shoulder pain. Please take a look at this graphic which shows all of the muscular groups that can be affected by a misaligned TMJ:
