Understanding TMJ Pain | Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
TMJ pain can lead to discomfort in the jaw, face, and neck, often resulting in headaches and difficulty chewing. This condition stems from problems with the temporomandibular joint, which links the jaw to the skull. With the right treatment, symptoms can be alleviated, helping to restore comfort and function.
What Is TMJ Disorder?
Temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders (TMJDs) encompass a range of conditions that cause pain in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, often leading to difficulties with jaw movement. These disorders can affect one or both TM joints and may interfere with essential functions such as speaking, eating, chewing, swallowing, facial expressions, and even breathing. If left untreated, TMJDs can lead to pain in the face, head, and neck, even when the tissues in those areas remain structurally intact.
“TMJ” refers to the TemporoMandibular Joint, or the jaw joint. Each person has two TMJs, located in front of each ear, where the lower jaw (mandible) connects to the skull. These joints facilitate a full range of motion, including moving up and down, side to side, and forward and backward—functions necessary for chewing, swallowing, speaking, and making facial expressions.
TMJ disorder is often overlooked in diagnoses because its diverse symptoms can resemble other conditions, such as headaches, ear pain, or neck discomfort.

Understanding TMJ
In this video, Dr. Shirazi discusses TMJ disorder and why addressing it is essential. TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder, affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, often resulting in pain, difficulty chewing, and other disruptive symptoms. If left unmanaged, TMJ can progressively worsen, leading to chronic pain and potential impacts on overall health. Dr. Shirazi emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and treatment to relieve symptoms and prevent future complications.
