TMJ Treatment Is Available At Willow Bend Chiropractic In Plano, TX

The temporomandibular joint, which stands for TMJ, is the joint that allows you to move your jaw up and down and side to side. It connects the jaw to your skull, and is the reason that you can chew your food, yawn when you are tired, and talk to your friends. Problems in this area are referred to as temporomandibular disorder, or TMD. There is no clear cause of this disorder, but symptoms can arise after an injury, if someone clenches or grinds their teeth, or have arthritis. Talk with our doctors at Willow Bend Chiropractic in Plano about how our TMJ treatment options can help you ease your pain.
