The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most used, yet ignored joints in the body. Clinicians don’t regularly evaluate the TMJ since it is often not a patient’s primary complaint, when in fact it may be the primary source of the patient’s symptoms. The TMJ should be evaluated for all patients who report:
- Headaches (especially in the temporal region)
- Upper cervical pain and stiffness
- Local pain and clicking in the TMJ
