What is Orthopedic Dysfunction?

Orthopedic dysfunction refers to the impairment of the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. This condition can lead to pain, reduced mobility, and decreased quality of life due to injuries, degenerative diseases, congenital anomalies, or repetitive stress.

Orthopedic Dysfunction and Its Relation to TMJ

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders are a specific type of orthopedic dysfunction that affects the jaw joint and the muscles controlling jaw movement. The TMJ connects the jawbone to the skull, and dysfunctions here can cause significant discomfort and functional issues. TMJ disorders can result from various factors, including jaw injuries, arthritis, genetic predispositions, and bruxism (teeth grinding). These issues can lead to symptoms affecting not only the jaw but also the head, neck, shoulders, and back.

Symptoms of Orthopedic Dysfunction in TMJ

Patients with TMJ-related orthopedic dysfunction may experience a range of symptoms, including:

• Jaw pain or tenderness
• Difficulty or discomfort while chewing
• Locking of the jaw joint
• Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
• Chronic headaches or migraines
• Earaches or tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Facial pain or swelling
