A member asked:
I have jaw and neck pain, its been diagnosed before as a muscle issue. however, it is recurring and shows up for no reason. should i get checked again?

Neck TMJ relations: You can open your mouth be moving your head on your neck, so you TMJ issues and neck problems are probably related. You will need help in finding a better functional jaw position as you also work on establishing optimal neck and upper back function. We have the patient see the physical therapist first so we can help maintain a better upper quadrant functional position.
