Did you know that chronic acid reflux (GERD) can increase your risk of jaw pain? 😬
A large study of over 150,000 adults found a direct connection between GERD and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Hands-on care is effective for relieving jaw tightness and pain, but finding long-term relief also requires looking at the bigger picture. 🔎 Conditions occurring elsewhere in the body, such as reflux, can directly affect your jaw health.
This is why we take a comprehensive history to identify all the factors that may be contributing to your pain.
