		TMJ headaches are most often felt in the temple area, behind the eyes, and at the back of the head with pain radiating to the neck and shoulders.
		If the TMJ (jaw joint) is the problem, a referral should be made to a dentist or dental specialist with training in the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.
		TMJ disorders have been called the "Great Impostors" due to the fact that many of the symptoms have overlapping symptoms which often mimic other conditions.

	TMJ
		TMJ dysfunction is a living nightmare for an estimated 50 million Americans who suffer from this distress.
		Finding that source is the difficult part of treating TMJ pain. When there's an imbalance in the jaw, the muscles in the neck and shoulders try to compensate, causing pains and headaches that can't be relieved until the jaw is realigned. Likewise, the reverse can be true.
		Treating the whole person can be very important with TMJ pain. Hormonal imbalance and stress can also be perpetrating factors. In the ideal world, a knowledgeable doctor and dentist will work together to make sure that a favorable outcome occurs.
