Why does your jaw hurt in Watertown SD
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction is a set of disorders affecting the temporomandibular joint and/or the surrounding musculature.
These disorders cause pain and dysfunction in the joint and the muscles controlling jaw movement. A thorough examination, including functional testing, is required for proper diagnosis.
TMJ dysfunction is one of the most frustrating and debilitating injuries—for the simple reason that most medical professionals do not yet understand how to treat it. Few practitioners understand the complexity of the dysfunction, and some may dismiss your complaints as minor or insignificant.
