Common Causes of TMJ Pain We Address
Jaw Misalignment
When the temporomandibular joint becomes misaligned, it creates abnormal pressure and strain during movement, leading to pain, clicking, and restricted motion.
Teeth Grinding & Clenching
Many Ankeny professionals who work in high-stress environments at companies like John Deere or Casey's headquarters develop TMJ issues due to unconscious teeth grinding and jaw clenching, particularly during sleep. Some anxious individuals also suffer from unconscious teeth grinding.
Stress & Muscle Tension
Emotional stress causes many people to hold tension in their jaw muscles, creating chronic strain on the TMJ and surrounding structures over time.
Poor Posture
Forward head posture from long hours working at a desk or looking at devices places additional stress on the jaw joint and can contribute to TMJ dysfunction.
Previous Jaw Injury
Past trauma to the jaw from accidents, sports injuries, or even extensive dental work can lead to lasting TMJ issues that require proper treatment.
