A member asked:
Can tmj cause neck/throat and shoulder pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TMD/TMJ: TMJ Dysfunction can be related to other postural disorders, and how the spine aligns and that may present as radiating or referred pain to other adjacent areas such as shoulder, neck, etc. In other words, different muscles and joints may affect synergistic interaction so out of balance of one part may affect others. Having said that, pain in shoulders, neck?throat could also be totally unrelated.
