The tongue depressor test 🪄 — a simple way clinicians differentiate joint vs. muscle-driven TMJ pain. Bite on the sore side: pain down = joint, pain up = muscle. (Always pair with a full clinical exam, not a standalone diagnosis.)

Have neck or shoulder pain and find yourself resting your hand on top of your head?

That position can sometimes ease symptoms if the pain is coming from a pinched nerve in your neck rather than your shoulder.

If the pain increases when putting your arm in that position in may be coming from your shoulder

It’s a helpful clue, but it’s only one part of the assessment. If your symptoms persist, it’s worth getting checked by a healthcare professional.
