Persistent Neck Pain Linked to TMJ? You’re Not Alone
Neck pain can have many causes—heavy lifting, poor posture, or strenuous activity—but sometimes the source of persistent discomfort is less obvious. If you’ve been experiencing ongoing pain in your neck, shoulders, or upper back without a clear explanation, your jaw could be the culprit. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull, and problems in this joint—known as temporomandibular disorder (TMD)—can lead to widespread muscle pain. When your bite is misaligned, it places extra stress on your jaw joints, which can send pain radiating through your upper body.
