The TMJ or the temporomandibular bone formation is a complex bone joint that helps in opening and closing of the mouth to eat, drink, chew, and bite and to eat meat and also indirectly helps in providing nourishment to the body. It also helps in smiling and even in a simple activity like talking. Although, it can lead to various problems such as pain in the joint, headaches, even numb fingers and arms if the TMJ stops working correctly. All these are known as symptoms of the TMJ syndrome and they are discussed in detail in this article.

The symptoms of this disorder are so varied and so many in number that we will be classifying them in three different lists – Primary, Secondary and Unusual, for the reader’s convenience. These symptoms are so varied that they are apparent in the arms and fingers as well. A detailed study about these symptoms is required as these symptoms get visible on various different body parts.

Primary TMJ Symptoms

* Jaw joint ache* Inflamed jaw joint and tenderness experienced in muscles, tendons and bones* Continuous headaches and pain in the ear* The sound of clicking every time the jaw is opened* Stiff jaw joints* Stuffiness in sinus* Pain in the facial muscles* Difficulty in hearing

Secondary TMJ Symptoms

* Unclear visions, compromised night visions and light-sensitivity. Pressure behind the eyeballs.* Migraines, sinus-headaches, cluster headaches. Tenderness in the scalp and pain felt through the hair roots.* Ringing, roaring sounds in the ear as happens in the case of Tinnitus. Gradual loss of hearing with a stuffy kind of feeling felt in the ears.* Bridled jaw movement and pain in the jawbones.* Tongue movement going haywire and pain felt all through the mouth, chin and cheek.* Pain in the neck and shoulders.* Inflexibility experienced in the spinal chord and pain felt all over the back.* Numbness in the arm and fingers and that happens mainly due to the misalignment of the jaw bones leading to the incorrect bite. The numbness in the arms and fingers is caused mainly due to uneven bite which makes the muscles linked to the jaws, neck, face and shoulders to go into temporary spasms, which further affects the brachial plexis (the nerves running into the hands and fingers). These nerves get pinched and create a tingling sensation in the fingers.

Unusual Symptoms Of TMJ

* Swelling in the cheek is a rare symptom of TMJ dysfunction. It becomes more apparent on the side of the affected joint. Although inflammation of the affected jaw joint is a common feature with TMJ but is rarely spreads to the cheek or other adjoining areas.

* Regular dislocation of the jaw without any pain or any related discomfort. An afflicted person has to sleep with a hard pillow pressed against the affected joint as it is prone to get dislocated while the person is in sleep. It generally happens in the chronic cases of misaligned jaws devoid of any treatment for a long period. It can be solved with the help of neuromuscular dentists.* Although it is a common feature that the clicking sound of the jaw can be heard by someone standing a feet or two away from the affected person, but in rare cases this pain can be heard almost five feet away. It is also followed with severe oppressive pain just after the sound.* Shoulder pain is an uncommon feature of TMJ syndrome. But some people complain of this rare symptom. The pain is generally felt on one side where the pain extends from the sore neck muscles to the shoulders.

While describing unusual symptoms it becomes important to point out that these symptoms can also be caused by other ailments. Take the instance of aching facial muscles, there can be almost hundred reasons responsible for it that are least connected with TMJ. The reasons can be as varied as boils, trauma to the facial muscles, nasal ailments, glaucoma, eye related problems etc. So, a correct diagnosis of the case becomes a very important feature before any treatment can be attempted.

Treatment of TMJ

Since so many people are suffering from this problem, the treatment of this disorder has become very important. However, unfortunately most modes of treatments fail to provide a permanent solution for TMJ syndrome. Among the various treatment options available there are conventional modes of treatments consisting of drugs and surgeries, over the counter options like mouth guards and splints, home TMJ remedies and exercises, but all of them only provide a transitory relief, since they only address the symptoms and simply overlook the actual cause.

Holistic remedies provide a permanent solution for this problem. Instead of the symptoms it focuses on the actual causes responsible fo the problem. After identifying the causes it eliminates them completely and once the actual cause is gone the symptoms get removed automatically never to return again. Thus holistic remedies are able to provide permanent and complete relief to a person suffering from TMJ syndrome.
