What Is TMJ and Why Does It Hurt?
TMJ disorders impact the joint that connects your jaw to your skull, often causing localized or referred pain in the jaw, face, or head—and making simple tasks like eating and talking difficult.
How Dry Needling Can Help
Dry needling involves the insertion of ultra-fine, sterile needles into myofascial trigger points within muscles tied to TMJ dysfunction—such as the masseter or temporalis. This technique reduces pain and restores function by disrupting tight, painful bands of muscle.PMCWikipedia
