Understanding TMJ Disorders & Jaw Pain
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints in the body, connecting your jawbone to your skull
What are TMJ Disorders?
TMJ disorders (TMD) affect the temporomandibular joints and the muscles that control jaw movement. These conditions can cause significant pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and surrounding tissues.
- Muscle Disorders - Myofascial pain involving the chewing muscles (masseter, temporalis, pterygoids) Disc Displacement - The articular disc between jawbone and skull becomes misaligned, causing clicking or locking
- Arthritic Conditions - Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis affecting the TMJ joint surfaces
- Bruxism - Teeth grinding or clenching, often during sleep, that strains TMJ structures
- Malocclusion - Poor bite alignment that creates uneven pressure on the TMJ
- Trauma - Direct injury to the jaw, whiplash, or prolonged dental procedures
TMJ disorders are often multifactorial, requiring comprehensive assessment to identify all contributing factors for effective treatment.

Patient Success Story
Real results from our TMJ disorder treatment
"I suffered from severe TMJ pain for over two years with constant jaw clicking, headaches, and difficulty eating. I had tried everything from painkillers to dental splints with little relief. The pain was affecting my sleep and daily life. After starting treatment at Spine-X, I experienced improvement within the first few sessions. The combination of gentle jaw mobilizations, muscle release techniques, and the specific exercises Dr. Zinzala taught me has been life-changing. My jaw clicking is gone, the pain has reduced by 90%, and I can finally enjoy meals without discomfort. The education on proper jaw posture and stress management has helped me maintain these improvements."
