TMJ Neck Pain

Understanding Neck Pain & TMJ

Are you experiencing unexplained neck pain? Neck pain can be a common symptom related to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of the Greater Toronto Area, we understand the intricate connection between your jaw and neck muscles, and how dysfunction in one area can affect the other.

What is TMJ-related Neck Pain?

TMJ disorders occur when the temporomandibular joint—the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull—doesn’t function properly. This dysfunction can cause tension and discomfort in surrounding muscles, including those in the neck. The misalignment or inflammation of the TMJ can lead to referred pain, meaning the discomfort radiates from the jaw to other areas, like the neck, shoulders, or even the back.  Common Symptoms:

• Persistent pain or stiffness in the neck
• Limited range of motion in the neck and shoulders
• Headaches that start at the base of the skull
• Pain that worsens with jaw movement
• Radiating pain into the shoulders or upper back

If you’re suffering from any of these symptoms, it may be time to consider that your neck pain could be linked to TMJ dysfunction.
