Myofascial pain is the most predominant type of TMJ Disorder. The TMJ is the joint that connects your jawbone (mandible) to your skull. This joint is surrounded by an intricate network of muscles and fascia controlling jaw movement, including chewing, speaking, and facial expressions.
Like any other body part, the muscles and fascia around the TMJ can develop tight and temperamental trigger points. In this case, these trigger points are found in muscles such as the masseter (used for chewing), the temporalis (temples), and other muscles involved in jaw movement. As a type of TMJ Disorder, Myofascial pain can lead to muscle stiffness, tenderness, and the development of trigger points in the facial and neck muscles.
