TMJ Shoulder Pain
& How We Can Help
Understanding Shoulder Pain and TMJ Disorders
Discover Relief from Shoulder Pain?
Shoulder pain is a common but often overlooked symptom of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders. While TMJ disorders primarily affect the jaw, the interconnected nature of the muscles and nerves means that pain can radiate to other areas, including the shoulders. When the TMJ is misaligned or stressed, it can lead to muscle tension and spasms that extend from the jaw to the neck and shoulders. This type of referred pain can cause significant discomfort and may even limit the range of motion in the shoulders, making everyday tasks challenging.
Recognizing the Symptoms of TMJ-Related Shoulder Pain
Symptoms of shoulder pain related to TMJ disorders can vary, but common signs include:
- Dull, aching sensation in the shoulder
- Stiffness in the shoulder and neck
- Sharp pain when moving the shoulder or neck
- Headaches or migraines
- Jaw pain or discomfort
- Clicking or popping sound when opening or closing the mouth
- Muscle fatigue or weakness in the affected shoulder
