TMJ (Jaw Joint Pain)
The TMJ is the Temporal Mandibular Joint, the joint that connects the lower jaw to your upper jaw and skull. It is a complex joint and unique joint in the body because of the many types of motion it has.
There are many muscles and ligaments that move the joint every time we talk, eat or swallow.
When the jaw joint or associated muscles and ligaments become painful, the condition is known as TMD or Temporal Mandibular Joint Dysfunction.
