What Are TMJ-Related Muscle Spasms?

TMJ disorders can lead to involuntary muscle spasms in the jaw, face, and neck, causing pain, stiffness, and limited jaw movement. These spasms occur when the muscles surrounding the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) become overworked due to misalignment, stress, or tension. Without proper treatment, TMJ-related spasms can worsen, leading to persistent discomfort and restricted jaw function. Muscle spasms related to TMJ disorders often result from factors like teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, stress, arthritis, or trauma to the jaw. If left untreated, these spasms can contribute to long-term pain, headaches, and difficulty with everyday movements.

Common Symptoms of TMJ-Related Muscle Spasms:

  • Sudden or persistent jaw muscle tightness and pain
  • Difficulty opening or closing the mouth fully
  • Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw joint
  • Headaches, neck pain, or facial tension
  • Ear discomfort, including ringing or pressure sensations
  • Muscle fatigue or weakness in the jaw

This is the office and staff to go to, for TMJ and or just sleep difficulties. Not only is Dr. K’s knowledge of both areas stellar, but she strives to continually educate herself to provide support and answers for her patients. I so wish I had known about the root of my sleeping problems yrs ago, but I am so thankful I have been under her care now. So many issues have improved and I am grateful.
