TMJ Therapy
TMJ Physical Therapy Specialists in Lawrenceville, GA
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), located on both sides of the face in front of the ears, connects the lower jawbone to the skull and facilitates movements such as speaking and chewing. When this joint is compromised, it can lead to Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), causing discomfort and affecting daily activities.
Understanding TMJ Disorders
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) arises when the muscles and ligaments surrounding these joints become irritated or inflamed. This condition can result in varying degrees of pain—ranging from mild discomfort to severe, chronic pain.
