TMJ DYSFUNCTION - CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT
TMJ (Temporo-Mandibular Joint Dysfunction) is a condition that affects the joint connecting the jaw to the skull, causing pain, stiffness and difficulty in jaw movement. It can affect essential activities such as chewing, speech and even facial expressions, with a significant impact on quality of life.
Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to intense pain, manifesting as jaw locking, headaches or popping sounds when moving your mouth. At Medicine Park Physiotherapy, we offer personalized treatments to relieve pain and restore normal TMJ joint function.
CAUZE
TMJ dysfunction can be caused by a number of factors, either mechanical, lifestyle-related or medical. Among the most common causes are bruxism, stress and dental malocclusion, which can put excessive pressure on the jaw joint. Trauma or inflammation can also contribute to the condition.
🔹 Bruxism – grinding or clenching of teeth, especially during sleep
🔹 Stress – leads to excessive tensing of the jaw muscles
🔹 Dental problems – teeth misalignment or malocclusion
🔹 Trauma to the face or jaw – accidents or bumps
🔹 Arthritis – inflammation of the temporomandibular joint
🔹 Harmful habits – chewing gum excessively or resting your chin on your palm
These factors can lead to chronic pain and difficulty moving your jaw, affecting daily activities such as speaking and chewing.
SIMPTOME
Symptoms of TMJ dysfunction can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that affects daily jaw functions. The most common manifestations include joint pain, jaw locking and abnormal noises when chewing or speaking.
🔹 Jaw pain – in the TMJ joint, ears, face or throat
🔹 Jaw lock – difficulty opening or closing the mouth
🔹 Popping, clicking or clicking sounds – when moving the jaw
🔹 Headaches and migraines – caused by muscle tension in the jaw area
🔹 Tooth sensitivity – no obvious dental problems
🔹 Chewing discomfort – feeling tired or sore jaw
If you experience these symptoms, it’s important to see a specialist to prevent the condition from getting worse.
TREATMENT
TMJ dysfunction treatment should be personalized, combining the most effective methods to reduce pain, improve mobility and prevent recurrence. At Medicine Park Physiotherapy, we apply a multidisciplinary approach, integrating physiotherapy, manual therapy, osteopathy, chiropractic and dry needling to achieve the best results.

🔹 Kinesiotherapy and Corrective Exercises – to strengthen and stabilize the TMJ joint
