About 10 million Americans suffer from painful jaw joint and muscles called TMJ disorders. They bring jaw pain that interferes with sleep and makes it hard to eat or speak.  The symptoms can also bring pain to the backs of the eyes, the shoulders, neck and back.

The culprit is the joint that connects the lower jaw to the bone at the side of the head and its connected muscles. Temporomandibular pain is often blamed on misaligned teeth and dental problems, but there are other causes

In some patients, the problem is related to repeated movement of the jaw caused by tooth grinding while they sleep. Stress-related clenching of the jaw muscles may be the cause. Or there could be a problem with the joint.

Treatment begins with self-care.

* Rest the joint. Limit jaw movement while eating, yawning and laughing. Avoid gum chewing.

* Use heat to relax the muscles. Apply a heating pad, hot towel or water bottle for 20 minutes at a time.

* Use over-the-counter Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), like aspirin and ibuprofen. If they aren’t effective, your doctor may prescribe a medication to treat anxiety or stress.

* When misaligned teeth are the problem, a dentist or orthodontist can prescribe an orthodontic device.

* Get physical therapy. There are exercises that can help with jaw muscle strength.

In 10 percent to 15 percent of sufferers, none of these help. A doctor will then consider outpatient arthroscopy, according to Johns Hopkins Hospital. Under anesthesia, a tiny camera and instruments are moved to the site.

The surgeon can remove excess joint cartilage or bone fragments, correct misaligned discs, reshape bone, or remove bone spurs.

Afterward, you are advised to eat soft foods, avoid excessive jaw movement and take physical therapy.
