Jaw pain (TMJ problems) commonly occurs due to an injury or an abnormality of anatomical structures of the jaw, which adversely affect the muscles and joints. In some cases, the symptoms can be traced or linked to the teeth or “bite.” Also, whiplash, or a previous accident, may be involved. Bad habits such as resting your chin on your hand, wide yawning, and chewing gum can cause jaw problems and slowly lead to TMJ disorders.
Neck pain is fast becoming the most common health issue. The rise in the number of neck pain sufferers is related to the increased cell phone or smart device use. In short, neck issues do lead to jaw pain. But, Jaw pain will also lead to neck pain. In other words, these are to of the most common co-conditions that most suffer from. So, if you have been diagnosed with a slipped disc in the neck or the upper back, you may also have jaw issues. And, just because you have jaw issues doesn’t always mean that you will have jaw pain.
The vast majority of patients with jaw issues have little to no pain in their jaw joint or TMJ. The reason for this is related to lack of pain-sensing nerve fiber in the jaw joint. In fact, the jaw joint is the ONLY joint in the body that does not have a pain sensing-nerve. And, it is a good thing! Imagine what life would be like if small jaw issues lead to jaw pain? You wouldn’t eat, talk or even yawn. Life would be horrendous. This is the reason why our creator had mercy on us, by not putting a pain-sensing nerve in the jaws.

Muscles control jaw movements. Talking, yawning and chewing are activities controlled by the jaw muscles. There are times that excessive yawning or biting into an apple or chewing tough meat or hard candy can lead to irritation or damage to your jaw muscles or ligaments. Damaged muscles and ligaments often lead to tightness, which can be the cause of jaw pain.
The swelling or inflammation within or surrounding the soft tissues (muscles and ligaments of the Jaw joint) has a significant impact on the severity of pain felt. Inflammation may cause jaw pain, tenderness, warmness, and limitation of jaw movement. The inflamed jaw occurs when the surrounding soft tissues of the TMJ become tight and injured. When the soft tissues are inflamed, the jaw joints lose their stability. It leads to a cycle of joint stress and inflammation.
