Pain in the jaw area is often traced to an injury in the neck that affects the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ - the joint that allows you to open and close your mouth and move your jaw forward and back. TMJ disorders are a common pain complaint following an auto accident, and are disproportionately experienced by women. Stress and improper posture may also contribute to this condition. Research has shown that a multidisciplinary approach that includes chiropractic can be effective for treating the pain and loss of mobility of TMJ disorders.
