DETAILS

To understand how your TMJ causes your neck pain you have to understand the relationship the jaw share with your body.
For the most part, TMJ dysfunction is driven by dysfunction in one or more of the muscles that keep the joint in place which affects the pressure of the disc. And when it comes to the musculoskeletal system there’s really no such thing as isolation.

The effects of the jaw on the body are rarely acknowledged in the health and fitness arena; however, their significance is great and they may serve as the missing link in your progress.
