Facial Pain
Problems with the jaw are common in people with fibromyalgia. Clenching the jaw during disrupted sleep or even during the day can contribute to a painful condition called temporomandibular joint syndrome, (TMJ).
The jaw joint even if it’s slightly out of alignment, can cause headaches, ringing in the ears, facial pain, and even lead to pain in the upper shoulder area. People with this condition often experience clicking or popping of the jaw joint.
The jaw of course moves by rocking on a joint just ahead of the ear. Even a slight misalignment of this joint can cause terrific pain due to the sensitivity of this important structure.
At our center we use a hand held instrument to gently realign the jaw joint. Our patients are frequently amazed how much relief they can have with just a gentle “click” of the instrument.
If you have facial pain associated with fibromyalgia, call our center now, (303) 394-CARE (2273). We will examine your jaw, it’s alignment and the muscles that surround and move the jaw at no charge, when you mention this article.
