Understanding TMJ: Effective Treatments for Jaw Pain

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, commonly known as TMJ, refers to dysfunction or pain in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. This condition can make daily activities challenging, with symptoms ranging from jaw pain and headaches to difficulty chewing and a clicking or popping sound when moving the jaw.
