This explains so much. Started off with bouts of spontaneous vertigo I attribute it to the weather or allergies. Had an MRI. Went to a ENT. To no avail. Later to find out I do have TMJ this disorder mostly just stiffness. some cracking. Getting Invisalign now. I'm actually starting to feel muscle strain in my jaw, always had knots and tightness in the back of my neck. But now I'm getting the muscles in the front and signs of the neck displayed in this video. Thank you for this video. Simple and educating. And it doesn't hurt that. You are so nice to look at. Much love
Thank you for the video, you had directed me to it. I find if I do your exercises especially the muscle in my mouth between the jaw does help reduce my TMJ discomfort, and my neck eases up a bit. Just hoping the general discomfort will go away over time and continued exercises.
Im SO GLAD i found this video!! I've had on and off tmj pain for a few years now, but lately my neck has been painful and so sore. Turns out my neck problem areas matched all the muscles you pointed out that are directly correlated to the jaw. Im so glad i found your videos and am going to binge watch your other videos now! Liked and subscribed, thank you!!
After watching this video I am sure my cervicobrachial neuralgia was triggered by my clenching jaw at night (it's been ongoing at night for the past 8 years now).. The day before I got this condition I actually saw a chiro for my posture and she gave me exercises for my traps.. but maybe exercises that were too hard for me. The next day I was in so much pain. I did a scan and sure enough no hernia but C6 and C7 disks were slightly protruding and probably inflamed a few nerves.. After 2 months it has finally gone away but I'm really scared of consulting a chiro again after all that. I know they only way my neck problems will go away is if I treat my TMJ and stress.. it's just so frustrating as lots of practitioners just dismiss the pain and say nothing is linked and don't end up helping. A never ending story. Anyway I'm so glad so have stumbled upon this channel and discovered such a community! It makes me feel less alone! Thank you so much Dr Priya! Maybe one day I'll come for a consultation although I live in Illinois haha
Behind my ear, all the way down to my collarbone is right & painful. Sometimes I can’t touch my ear, back of my head at the base of my neck is painful to the touch. My gland at the back of my head & side of my neck are swollen. I’ve had it for awhile cause I clench my teeth at night but I’m experiencing a bad flare up due to anxiety 😥
@@theTMJdoc I realized how serious the pain was until this flare up, so I’m definitely gonna see a professional. I also emailed your office cause I’m willing to travel. Thank you for responding

Just found out I had TMD which caused a collapse on my right nasal septum and hypolordosis on my cervical spine. Its compressing nerves and causes a variety of weird symptoms such as diaphragmatic breathing issues, heart palpitations and tingling everywhere
My tmj alwasy hurts together with neck pain ,its truly unbearable 😢when it flares up during my period or with weather changes ,if I clench my jaw my face starts hurting and my neck hurts after that
I'm so glad to have found you! I have been following your "TMJ Pain Relief - Home Remedies Updated" video for a few days, and it seems to be helping already. I know that much of my pain is coming from my neck, which has been messed up for many years. Are there any neck exercises you could recommend?
Hi doctor, I’m really happy I came across your video. I’ve been having really bad neck pain, leading to sharp pains in my head and headaches. I also have vertigo periodically. Today, I noticed my right side of my cheek/jaw bone was aching. I was wondering if this was connected. I have tons of pressure in my head especially when I bend down. Do you have any advice for me?
It may be related, but I cannot tell you over the internet and without examining you in person :) I'd recommend seeing a tmj physical therapist to see if they can help!
@@theTMJdoc can can tmj cause face to swell? i experienced a sudden headache on mu right side then after that my right cheek and temple swelled my neck and shoulder hurts and a little bit on my ears pls i hope u reply
What do you think comes first usually? A misaligned jaw (already had this as a child) or the cervical spine? I have EDS, was recently diagnosed and have major problems with both. Fun fact: I had a hip operation as a baby and a twisted hip/pelvis misalignment... I guess that is the issue of both. Will I have a chance to get better although I can't change my pelvis bones? What do you think where to start?
I crack my jaw to release anxiety but it became really bad I made my TMJ hurt! Now I’m looking into this and I saw a picture that said TMJ disorders causes hand tingling? Is that true because I have that too!
I am 17 years ..i was treated with appliances for thumb suckingand bruxism in my younger age. Now for past one year I am having mouth breathing habit and occasional bruxism.i have also clicking. jaw pain comes if I wear headphones Sometimes if I bend and write for long time I have neck pain also.my mom says that iam not having good sleep. She is worried about me much. Please guide me from where I have to start my treatment.
I think my atlas might be in some trouble from playing loads of guitar and rotating my head constantly to look at my fretting hand. When I move my jaw horizontally it clicks on the right side, also when i rotate my head left and back to central i have had a persistent click (both when moving left, and when moving back again) for two years now. My scm, especially at the top, holds a lot of tension, which i can release by massage but it returns almost right away. Is there anything I can do without a chiropractor or is that the only solution?
Hi doc , I have tmj for a very long time . But recently I’m facing vertigo , ear fullness , tinnitus . I know all these was been related to tmj only because of you . Thanks for that .

The main question is : does the cervical problem cause tmj pain or tmj cause cervical problem. How can we know. Because in other videos you talk about TMJ, but if the problem is the neck, we should treat the neck, to resolve the stiffness in the TMJ.
Great question and the answer is that it varies from person to person. For some people it’s an imbalanced bite that feeds down and impacts the neck. For others it’s neck injury that feeds up and affects the jaw.
it would be life saving if you can answer this- can tmjd also cause NECK POPPING AND GRINDING and also popping on top of head ?im aware of the jaw popping but not neck
@@theTMJdoc thank you so much. I hope my tmjd will be healed. It's really depressing. I have this for 8 years and second time to undergo again another threatment.
I have a constant headache on one right side of the head/face, including pain in the ear, back of the head, also it is often accompanied by a "burning feeling", which is constant and very uncomfortable. I've done botox for tmj, mouth guard, pills, but nothing seems to work. Also the annoying syndrome is the sound in my ear when I move my head/neck, it sounds like a membrane of a drum, I discovered that this sound is "generarated" by the SCM musscle in my neck, when I squeez the SCM musscle in my neck with my fingers it makes that sound in the ear. I told that to many doctors, but none of them seems to care about. Any ideas on whan I should do next, I also tried physiotherapy but it didn't help too much. Maybe I should do some examination or excercises on my SCM muscle, I have no idea why it is causing that pop in my ear and it's frustrating.
Hi there! I cannot easily answer your question without follow up questions and discussion. If you'd like you can email my office to set up a Zoom meeting with me: patientcare@tmjdentaldoc.com
I have been having really bad neck pain since 2 weeks straight and I often hear a popping and clicking sound in upper cervical of the neck just like hear in my jaw is it a bad sign. Please help and thank you so much for sharing this video with us all.
I'm not a chiropractor or a physical therapist so I can't really tell you much about the popping in your neck. I would recommend getting evaluated by a PT or a chiro.
Hello there. I'm 24 years old and for the past two years I've been dealing with intense bruxism numbness in the right side of the face and dry eyes. My posture is also not fine because I've been sitting a lot infront of a computer. I have back pain mostly in the shoulder blade area and the neck though on the left side of my body . My question is are the left muscles of the back and neck connected to the right side of the jaw or they've just become stronger and that's why my right side of the face is numb every morning and I clench my teeth mostly using the muscles on the right side of my face?
for what it’s worth, I have the same exact issues on my right side. It has gotten so bad but I can no longer hold my right arm up to use the computer because my neck is so spasmed from 30 years of grinding and Tmj. I am not a medical professional, but I would say definitely get an address before you wind up like me.
great video! I was waiting for you to talk about point #3 - can TMJ lead to neck pain... I don't think you delved into it in the video. I clench my jaw so hard at night, and have terrible occipital tension leading to all kinds of neuralgia. I'm thinking the root cause is the clenching. Do you have any other videos that address this? thanks!
Hey I need some advise for tmj. I have experience some pain on my jaw and notice I have minor underbite on my teeth. When I opened my mouth i heard some clicking sound. Do I need to go to doctor or dentist or it will heal on it’s own? Thanks for replying.
Hii doc I m suffering from cervical pain from last 5 months I carry the gas cylinder at home from the time i m suffering from neck pain in right side and from last month I am also suffering from face and tooth pain plzz give me the suggestion for my relief
for 2 months I've been having dental visits and antibiotics for what dentist thought maybe an unseen infection from left law to neck and lower scalp. antibiotics an tooth pulled. no help now crackling law and severe lower left side neck pain worse when waking up. what do you suggest I do
Absolutely love the informitive videos! I have a couple question. Does a DDS get a certification for TMJ or is their other way to tell the qualifications of the person who is treating TMJ? Is the jaw clicking associated with the pain or is it separate but just bothersome. Trying to say: can the pain go away and clicking remain or the other way around? Just great videos, thanks for being there for me!
I’m not sure if a chiropractor can help with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. Sorry. Stress can increase clenching and grinding which can make the muscles surrounding the Eustachian tube inflamed which may lead to stuffy/congested ears.
@@theTMJdoc I google searched this and one source has said she's had her ETD 90% cured from a upper cervical chiropractor. It turned out she had a curved spine alignment, which can cause symptoms like ETD.

Hi i am 20 year male, i had my braces 7-8 months ago. Still treatment is going on, as my teeth are shifting forward (teeth were inward before and just one teeth was far forward), ican feel pressure on my jaw its also moving forward and due to which i can't rest my jaw not at all, which result increase in jaw pain and headache. When i said this to my dentist he said its very normal and will soon go away. Is he right?is it really normal? Because i can't really rest my jaw on upper teeth
I’m sorry I can’t tell you if this is normal without examining you in person.

Hi Dr.
I have tmj and currently im wearing braces but from 2 months im suffering from neck pain and hearing sounds near occipital lobes area very frequently and they are really huge even if i rotate my head little. Can the root cause be because of tmj? I told my doctor but he said to do stretches but they are not helping me.
It could be, yes.

Hey doc does broken tooth can lead to tmj I have been using only one side my jaw becoz of broken tooth should I get filled
An infected tooth can mimic TMJD. I don't feel comfortable advising you on getting your tooth filled without examining you in person.
@@theTMJdoc ok thanks
@@shiwanirauniyar6495 you’re welcome
@@theTMJdoc I am having all of the symptoms of TMD I’ve been having dental work done so I’ve only been using one side of my mouth, I have a cavity but when the dentist did the X-ray she didn’t see any infections. I’ve been on antibiotics but nothing has changed. I’m looking for a TMJ dentist now but she insist that there may be an infection that she can’t see.
I wish you were based in the uk. Every video I watch is exactly how i feel but no health care providers in the uk seem knowledgable in this area at all. I think there is only 1 nucca chiropractor in the uk :(
Sorry to hear this!
So tmj can cause trapezius problems
yes
@@theTMJdoc I knew it, some doctors just diagnose it as myofascial pain or fibromyalgia but I had a feeling it’s from the jaw and the cross bite on that side
hi doc ...i feel neck pain sometimes and cracking sound while opening & closing mouth slowly since from 3 yrs & i feel like bulky ear near eardum towards downwords....plz give me suggestion ...should i go for dentist or ENT specialist
