TMJ Neck Pain
For Patients
TMJ Neck Pain Relief Using Specialized Treatment
Neck pain can impact your comfort, mobility, and quality of life. Often, it stems from issues like TMJ dysfunction, which causes tension and misalignment in the jaw and surrounding muscles. Specialized therapy can address these root causes, relieving pain and restoring mobility.
How TMJ Therapy Addresses Neck Pain
TMJ dysfunction, including jaw misalignment, muscle tension, or teeth grinding, can radiate pain into the neck and shoulders. This strain often triggers chronic discomfort and reduces your range of motion. Poor posture and clenching can further exacerbate neck pain, leading to persistent tension.
Signs Your Neck Pain May Be TMJ-Related
Eye pain caused by TMJ can manifest in several ways, such as:
- Persistent tension or stiffness in the neck
- Pain radiating from the jaw to the shoulders
- Limited range of motion
- Headaches originating at the base of the skull
- Jaw discomfort or clicking sounds when moving the jaw
Root Causes of TMJ-Related Neck Pain
- Jaw Misalignment: Creates strain on neck and shoulder muscles.
- Muscle Tension: Chronic clenching or grinding tightens jaw and neck muscles.
- Poor Posture: Forward head posture strains the neck and upper back.
- Stress and Bruxism: Lead to persistent tension and pain.

Rae Tcherneshoff2020-11-19 My treatment has been nothing short of life changing. I have struggled with TMJ issues for about 10 years and it got much worse in the last year. After treatment here, I can now chew on both sides of my mouth, open my jaw all the way, no more clicking or popping, and finally no pain or ringing ears. I was skeptical at first, but Dr. VanDkye REALLY knows what she’s talking about and all the women in the office are so helpful! Josie Gordon2019-08-25 Dr VanDyke is so knowledgeable and well educated in Sleep Disorders. She is a wonderful, caring, compassionate person. The staff is so friendly and nice that I look forward to going to the office! They are an incredible group of women😇☀️😃 Cheri Waring2019-07-19 I started with TMJ &Sleep Therapy Center in June this year. I was grinding teeth with mouth pieces made at the dentist offices that didn't help with my other issues. HEADACHES, not sleeping, jaw popping, pain in right ear, sinus issues. I was hoping only for help with headaches and sleep, and grinding. I recieved my more than ever expected. I sleep through the night, headache free, popping gone. Mouth pieces are so different than others I have had made. They truly gave me my life back. Thank you! Norman G.2019-07-11 The staff is wonderful, and so knowledgeable. My wife had been suffering for a long time with jaw pain, none of the medical doctors were able to help her. Finally, after treatment she has had no more pain and life is good!
