Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) are a group of musculoskeletal disorders affecting the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and their associated structures. Evidence suggests that TMJD is commonly associated with other conditions of the head and neck region, including cervical spine disorders and headaches, and is commonly treated by registered massage therapists using both intra and extra-oral techniques. The TMJ is the joint responsible for connecting the bottom portion of the jaw called the mandible to the temporal region of the skull. Patients suffering from TMJD may not realize just how often they use their jaw, as it is very important for daily activities like yawning, talking, and eating. If the jaw is not working properly, this can lead to a significant amount of pain, discomfort, and even postural imbalances when left untreated.
