TMJ Syndrome

 

TMJ Syndrome

Did you know that EVERYONE has a TMJ?  TMJ stands for Temporomandibular Joint.  We all have 2 of them.  Most people have no issues with theirs, but if you do then it can be categorized as as TMJ Syndrome.  Some symptoms of TMJ syndrome include: 

Jaw popping
Headaches
Ears Ringing
Vertigo 
Pain with Chewing

Did you know that chiropractic care can be SO helpful with some TMJ syndrome patients?  Dr. Felicia has worked on MANY TMJ's over the past 20+ years.  If you have been experiencing TMJ syndrome symptoms make an appointment and ask her about your specific jaw!
