What is temporomandibular joint disorder?
This is a condition in which the jaw becomes stiff or gets stuck when opening and closing the mouth, making it difficult to open the mouth, or causing pain in the jaw.
If the symptoms become severe, it can cause stiff shoulders, neck pain, and headaches. Our clinic offers treatments that are usually only available at university hospitals. If you are concerned, please feel free to contact us.
