TMJ (Tempero-Mandibular Joint Disorder)

Highland Park Physio

TMJ stands for Tempero-Mandibular Joint Disorder which is your jaw joint. The Tempero-Mandibular joint is formed by the mandible or jaw bone, joining with the temporal bone of the skull, just below and in front of the ear. The TMJ is opened and closed many 1000’s of times each day as we eat, speak, breathe and yawn and is thus the focal point of much activity and physical forces.
