Headaches, sinus or neck pain? Have you tried everything and you still have jaw pain headaches...

Most people do not realize that these seemingly unrelated problems are often associated with jaw joint problems. But those people who have been successfully treated for TMJ (Temporo-Mandibular Joint) problems have put the general discomfort and aching pain out of their lives. The TMJ is a specialized hinge structure near the ear that allows the mouth to open and close and coordinates chewing. Other common symptoms are: Dizziness

The term "TMJ" is the acronym for "TemperoMandibular Joint". This is the ball and socket joint that allows the lower jaw to open, close and move sideways when chewing and speaking. Everyone, of course, has two of them, and they are located about one centimeter in front of the ears. They are the only joints in the head, and if something goes wrong with either one of them, you can have real problems. You may have pain on opening or closing your mouth, eating and chewing food, and even speaking. Problems of this nature are what the public generally associate with the term "TMJ".

What is Temporomandibular Joint Disease? N.B. Work in progress, subject to revisions and additions. MPD vs. Intra-articular Disease One of the most important concepts to understand is the basic difference between true interarticular disease and the myofascial pain complex of symptoms which the lay press tends to erroneously label as TMJ. These two entities can, and often do, coexist but they are not synonymous. In patients where both are present it is almost always helpful and desireable to treat the MPD first and then address the interarticular pathology. The most notable exception to that treatment sequence is the onset of acute interarticular disease in a previously healthy joint. Surgical vs. Non-Surgical Treatment For MPD the majority of treatment options are non-surgical however, some consider brisement used for trismus secondary to immobilization syndrome a surgical procedure. Warmth, massage, physical therapy including range of motion exercises, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories reduction in parafunctional activity and patient education form the bulk of the treatment protocols. Many practicioners believe in the construction of intraoral "splints" of a variety of types to treat parafunction. Some purport to treat interarticular disease with these devices. The ability of such devices to treat interarticular disease is not supported by the scientific and orthopedic literature. Their efficacy in the treatment of muscle spasm/myofascial pain is perhaps a little higher but often no better than what can be obtained through the utilization of over the counter rubber mouthpieces such as are provided for high school athletes in contact sports.

The disorder can range from a dull ache in front of the ears to debilitating jaw pain and dysfunction. Alphabetical Recent Guide To Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) TMD is not just one disorder, but a group of conditions, often painful, that affect the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint, or TMJ) and the muscles that control chewing. TMD disorders fall into three main categories: myofascial pain, internal derangement of the joint, and degenerative joint disease, such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in the jaw joint.

There are a wide variety of signs and symptoms indicative of TMJ dysfunction. Typically, a TMJ dysfunction diagnosis is usually made after the patient complains of tenderness in the jaw muscles, multiple headaches, and/or dull, aching pain in the face, but symptoms may also include pain in the sinuses, ears, eyes, teeth, neck muscles, and shoulders. Clicking and grating in the jaw joints, inability to open or close the mouth freely, and difficulty in chewing and swallowing are also often present. All of these pain and dysfunction symptoms can be temporary, chronic (continuing for longer than six months), or intractable (never-ending). TMJ dysfunction can have a variety of causes and is believed to result when the chewing muscles and jaw joints do not work together correctly.

"Whagggr?" you say, your mouth still pried open wide and stuffed with cotton. The temporomandibular joint is simply your jaw joint, he explains. "But please explain, doctor, what's this about a syndrome?" you ask. No matter what school of thought your dentist adheres to, his answer will no doubt be a very long and complicated one. Temporomandibular joint syndrome, commonly known as TMJ, is without a doubt among the most complex and controversial of all modern ailments. But we won't get into the ongoing controversy as to whether TMJ is a muscle and ligament problem or a bone and cartilage problem. Nor will we argue whether the primary cause is stress or misaligned teeth or any other of the many suspected culprits. Your only concern at the moment is that you've been told that, yep, you have it, and you want to know what to do about it.

94. TMJ Disease: When Arthritis Strikes The Jaw The epicenters of tmj disease are the body s two temporomandibular joints, tmj disease, which is considered a form of arthritis, can develop when the http://www.thenutritionreporter.com/TMJ_and_arthritis.html

TMJ Disease: When Arthritis Strikes the Jaw By Jack Challem If you hear popping or clicking sounds in the jaw, find that your jaw occasionally "locks," or suffer regular headaches and ear pain, you maybe have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disease. If you do, you're hardly alone. The American Dental Association estimates that 10 million Americans suffer from the condition, whose symptoms may range from mild to debilitating. The epicenters of TMJ disease are the body's two temporomandibular joints, located just in front of the ears. The joints connect the temporal bone of the skull and the lower jaw, also known as the mandible. Dentists regard the temporomandibular joints as the most complex in the body. They enable the jaw to move in multiple directions, opening and closing like a hinge and gliding back and forth like a sliding door. Healthy joints are extraordinarily flexibility and strong enough to withstand the enormous pressure and wear and tear of chewing food. TMJ disease, which is considered a form of arthritis, can develop when the joints move out of alignment. The most common cause is a "malocclusion," or bad bite. When teeth are crooked or don't mesh, they cannot grind food smoothly. This misalignment puts extra pressure on the joints and, not surprisingly, many people with TMJ disease have difficulty eating or feel pain when chewing. The pain often radiates outward and can cause toothaches, tightness of the facial muscles, and neck and shoulder discomfort. Free Radicals and TMJ

Homepage University of Washington Department of Radiology Anatomy Modules TMJ Anatomy The temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, is the articulation between the condyle of the mandible and the squamous portion of the temporal bone. The condyle is elliptically shaped with its long axis oriented mediolaterally. The articular surface of the temporal bone is composed of the concave articular fossa and the convex articular eminence The MENISCUS is a fibrous, saddle shaped structure that separates the condyle and the temporal bone. The meniscus varies in thickness: the thinner, central intermediate zone separates thicker portions called the anterior band and the posterior band . Posteriorly, the meniscus is contiguous with the posterior attachment tissues called the bilaminar zone . The bilaminar zone is a vascular, innervated tissue that plays an important role in allowing the condyle to move foreward. The meniscus and its attachments divide the joint into superior and inferior spaces. The superior joint space is bounded above by the articular fossa and the articular eminence. The

Myofacial Pain and TMJ The Use of Electromyographic Biofeedback for the Treatment of Facial Pain Leonard G. Hudzinski, Ph.D. Director, Biofeedback Services, Department of Psychiatry, Ochsner Clinic and Alton Ochsner Medical Foundation New Orleans, Lousiana P.J. Walters, DDS Chairman, Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Ochsner Clinic, New Orleans, Louisiana Introduction It is estimated that approximately 70 to 90% of patients with facial pain have either a primary or secondary muscle disorder and that pain in these patients can be alleviated with biofeedback(1). Facial pain usually results from acute overstretching of muscles, whiplash, muscle fatigue, oral surgery or immobilization of muscle or as a consequence of a muscle-bracing oral habit, such as clenching and/or grinding and malocclusion. The pain experienced most often is described as a dull deep ache that is usually constant and active for months, sometimes for years. The pain is usually more intense on awakening, and is frequently unilateral or one-sided. Often, clicking or popping sounds originating from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) area are reported. Mandibular movements are limited because patients have difficulty opening their mouth. The jaw often deviates to the affected and painful side of the face. The pain may radiate into the temple muscles and down into the sternocleidomastoid muscle and splenius capitis muscles as well as to the zygomatic process.
