TMD / TMJ Treatment

Find TMJ Headache Relief in Boulder, CO

TMJ/TMD treatment patient in Boulder, COThe TMJ, or temporomandibular joint, is the joint that sits just in front of your ear, allowing you to move your jaw around. If your TMJ has problems or issues, we call that TMD, which stands for temporomandibular disorder. TMD can increase muscle soreness, chronic headaches, migraines, difficulty opening your mouth, and sleeping disorders.

TMD may be genetic or may develop when some habits, such as clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth, put added stress on your TMJ. This added stress can lead to headaches or neck pain. Your teeth can also become worn or sensitive from all that clenching and grinding.

Eventually, the added pressure can damage the TMJ. Over time, the TMJ condition will continue to worsen if not treated properly. Your lower jaw may hit nerves and blood vessels, leading to more pain when using your jaw.
