Lecture Overview

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder, known as TMD or TMJ, is a group of conditions that cause pain and loss of normal function to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) or jaw joint. TMJ has become an increasingly common condition these days and has often gone undiagnosed. Headaches, teeth grinding (bruxism), migraines, vertigo, jaw soreness and neck pains are common symptoms of TMJ.

Osteopaths and physiotherapists help establish the root cause of TMJ which may be linked to the upper cervical spine or muscular imbalance. Treatments such as manipulation, massage or an exercise programme can help patients with TMJ.

1. 1. What is Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder?
