What is the “TMJ” vs what is TMD?

Many patients get a lot of headaches. How do I know if my headaches are caused by jaw problems?

My jaw clicks when I eat and talk. What causes that? Is it serious? Will it get worse if I don’t do anything about it?

Who is the best type of practitioner to see about my jaw problem?

My dentist says that I grind my teeth at night. Is that likely to cause a jaw joint problem and how can I prevent it?

What is a typical screen that Russell does with the TMJ?

Could orthodontics be helpful for my jaw problem?

What are the ways you, as a Chiropractor, would treat my Jaw problem?
