Pain in the jaw, face, or neck that is a result of TMD can affect the way you hold your head, cause you to clench your teeth, and even unconsciously make you tense in your neck, shoulders and other muscles of your upper body. As a result, neck, shoulder, back pain, and even the upper arm discomfort can be easily misdiagnosed. If we can discover TMD as the cause of your suffering, we can also treat it quickly and permanently, the sooner, the better.
