TMJ-Related Shoulder Pain

Addressing Shoulder Pain with TMJ Therapy

We understand that shoulder pain can be a frustrating and debilitating issue. Often, it is misunderstood and misdiagnosed, leading to prolonged discomfort. Shoulder pain can sometimes be linked to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, as the complex network of muscles, nerves, and joints in the head, neck, and shoulders are closely connected. When TMJ dysfunction occurs, it can cause referred pain that manifests in the shoulder, leading to chronic discomfort and reduced mobility.

The Link Between TMJ and Chronic Shoulder Pain

Chronic pain is pain that persists for weeks, months, or even years, and it can significantly impact your quality of life. TMJ disorders can lead to chronic pain in various parts of the body, including the shoulders. The muscles that control the jaw are interconnected with those in the neck and shoulders, meaning that TMJ issues can lead to tension and strain in these areas. Common symptoms include persistent shoulder pain, headaches, neck stiffness, and jaw pain. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s essential to consider the possibility of TMJ as a contributing factor.
