Back pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are two conditions that may seem unrelated, but research suggests there is a link between them. TMJ disorders affect the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, causing symptoms such as jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, and limited jaw movement. Back pain, on the other hand, is a common condition that can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain, arthritis, and herniated discs.
Several studies have found that people with TMJ disorders are more likely to experience back pain. For example, a study published in the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation found that patients with TMJ disorders were more likely to have back pain than those without TMJ disorders. The researchers suggested that TMJ disorders may contribute to back pain by causing changes in the way people hold their bodies, leading to muscle imbalances and strain on the back.
Another study published in the Journal of Dental Research found that people with TMJ disorders were more likely to have chronic back pain than those without TMJ disorders. The researchers suggested that TMJ disorders may contribute to back pain by causing changes in the way people chew and swallow, leading to muscle imbalances and strain on the back.
