DIAGNOSIS OF TMD/TMJ SYMPTOMS
Neuromuscular Dentistry can help alleviate symptoms such as headaches, neck and
shoulder pain, jaw pain, clicking or popping in the jaw, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
Many people suffer from one or more of these symptoms, and often patients’ symptoms
are either misdiagnosed or dismissed as having no physiological cause. In a number of
cases, these symptoms can
actually be attributed to a bad bite or TMJ, also referred to as TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) or MPD
(myofascial pain dysfunction). These terms are just different names for the same group
of symptoms.
