The Connection between your Jaw and Your Neck – TMJ Neck Pain

Neck Pain is a very usual consequence of TMJ Pain and is closely related to the neck both anatomically and functionally. The jawbone (mandible) is connected to the skull by the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ).

Just behind your jaw are the upper neck facet joints. So when your neck moves, so does your jaw - and when your jaw moves, so does your neck! The muscles that move your jaw are attached via fascial tissue to each other, and to the muscles that move your neck.

Sometimes individuals have dental work prescribed to treat their jaw when in fact the root of the problem is in their neck. In these situations, the jaw pain returns over time as the cause of the pain is still there. Resolving the underlying issue: Neck Pain, is crucial.

Another common cause of TMJ is Forward Head Posture (FHP), in which a person typically sits or stands with their head jutted forward. Posture is another huge influence on the head and neck. Certain postural changes and imbalances can have adverse effects. One factor that has become all too common is the fact that most people’s jobs today require hours upon hours of computer work. Over time, this causes the cervical muscles to contract, which leads to chronic achiness and inevitable pain. This unnatural curve in the spine puts extra pressure on the neck and jaw muscles.
