Do you wake up with headaches? Does your jaw hurt when you chew? You might have TMJ problems. At Nevada OMS, we help many Las Vegas patients find relief from headaches caused by jaw joint issues.
What is TMJ?
Your TMJ is that joint that links your jaw to your skull. It could be visualized as a sliding hinge that helps you to talk, chew, and yawn. When this joint does not work the right way, it might cause you a lot of pain.
Common Signs of TMJ Problems
Most people with TMJ issues have the following:
- Morning headaches
- Jaw pain
- Ear pain
- Neck aches
- Clicking sounds when eating
