TMJ Shoulder Pain
Discover Comprehensive Care for Shoulder Pain
At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Montana, we understand that shoulder pain can be a debilitating condition that significantly impacts your daily life. While shoulder pain is commonly associated with joint or muscle issues, it can also be linked to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Understanding Shoulder Pain in Relation to TMJ
Shoulder pain related to TMJ often originates from the muscles and nerves surrounding the jaw. The TMJ is a complex joint that connects your jawbone to your skull, and issues here can create a ripple effect of tension that extends to your shoulders. This pain may arise from chronic clenching, nerve compression, or poor posture, all of which can be associated with TMJ disorders.
Common Symptoms of TMJ-Related Shoulder Pain
Identifying TMJ-related shoulder pain can be challenging since it often mimics other types of shoulder injuries. However, some common symptoms include:
- Persistent, dull, or sharp pain in the shoulder area
- Pain that worsens when moving the jaw, speaking, or chewing
- Stiffness in the neck and shoulder muscles
- Headaches or migraines that coincide with shoulder discomfort
- Limited range of motion in the shoulder
- Pain that radiates from the jaw, neck, or upper back to the shoulder
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be an indication that your shoulder pain is connected to an underlying TMJ disorder.
