Are You Struggling with Persistent Fatigue?

Understanding Fatigue and Its Connection to TMJ
Fatigue can affect every aspect of your life, leaving you feeling drained and unable to fully engage in daily activities. While fatigue has many potential causes, one often-overlooked factor is dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jaw to your skull.
TMJ disorders (TMD) can disrupt normal muscle function and alignment, leading to issues such as jaw clenching, teeth grinding (bruxism), and disrupted airflow during sleep. These problems can cause poor sleep quality, leaving you feeling unrested and fatigued. Chronic pain from TMD can further drain your energy and impact your overall well-being.
Common Symptoms of Fatigue Related to TMJ Disorders
If TMJ dysfunction is contributing to your fatigue, you may experience:
- Persistent tiredness or lack of energy, even after a full night’s sleep
- Headaches or migraines, often upon waking
- Jaw pain, tenderness, or stiffness
- Teeth grinding or clenching, especially at night
- Disrupted sleep patterns, including snoring or sleep apnea symptoms
- Neck and shoulder pain that adds to physical discomfort
These symptoms may vary in intensity, but they all point to potential issues with your TMJ that require professional evaluation and treatment.

Rae Tcherneshoff2020-11-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 Gordon2019-08-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 Waring2019-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.2019-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
