Do you suffer from headaches or migraines? Do you have chronic head and neck pain? If you have seen neurologists or pain specialist and undergoing MRIs and CT scans and there was nothing diagnosed, there is a chance you may have TMJ Disorders. TMJ manifests itself in many ways, making it difficult to diagnose. This is another reason so many people live with the chronic pain issue and taking pain medication habitually as it is the only treatment they know.
This can cause a host of issues including facial asymmetry and facial pain
TMJ can cause many symptoms, some are listed below:
-neck pain
-jaw pain
-headaches or migraines
-vertigo
