TMJ Disorder, also known as TMD, is a condition that afflicts many people on a daily basis. Some TMJ conditions are more severe than others. Common indications of TMJ include but are not limited to frequent headaches, painful clicking and popping of the jaw joints, limited range of opening, “locked” open or closed sensations, and pain in the chewing muscles around the head and neck.
