Ten Symptoms of TMJ Disorders

10. Other Pain from TMJ

Jaw pain may spread and cause aching in other parts of the body. Often, people notice tension, aches, or pain in the neck and shoulders. The pain can also radiate up into the scalp, sometimes causing headaches or migraines. Some people with TMJ syndrome also experience earaches and tooth pain. Over-the-counter medication is usually sufficient to alleviate this pain, but this does not address the cause of the issues, which should be diagnosed and treated by a physician.
