tmj

Hi Doctor. My boyfriend has been having jaw pain on one side of his face for a little while now, very often when he wakes up from sleeping--but it lasts for much of the day and is intermittent. He's headed to the doctor this week to try to get to the bottom of it, but I think he grinds/clenches his teeth at night. I'm wondering if it might be TMJ--and if so, is this something that can be alleviated through chiro? Do you ever deal with people who have this problem? Thank you! Tweet
