What is TMJ?

TMJ is located just in front of the ears on both sides of your face, where the jaw links with the skull. The joint is backed up by multiple muscles, cartilage, ligaments and an intra-joint disk that enables the joint to move and accustom to various forms of motions. Hence, the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is one of the joints that are made use throughout the day for any sort of oral movements.

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD/TMJ Syndrome) is a term that signifies serious or long-term swelling of the TMJ. The dysfunction can cause severe pain and damage. The practice used to treat this kind of condition is known as TMJ Therapy.
