TMJ disorders are a group of issues related to the jaw joint. TMD (temporo mandibular disorders) can originate anywhere in the head and neck region. These disorders are either muscle or nerve issues. They sometimes can take the form of persistent pain in the face, head, neck. Sometimes the pain can originate from a disorder in the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) of your jaw.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that joins the jawbone to the skull. TMJ is one of the most complex joints in the human body; any imbalances that occur in the joint can lead to chronic pain in the joint itself or the muscles of mastication and in the network of nerves that run through the face, neck, and head.
