Jaw pain, clicking, or difficulty chewing can be signs of a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. While mild symptoms might be manageable at home, ongoing TMJ issues can significantly impact your quality of life. So, when is it time to see a professional like Dr. Jared Bloxham at Columbia Center for Sleep Apnea & TMJ? Let’s break it down.
The temporomandibular joint connects your jawbone to your skull and helps with everyday functions like speaking, chewing, and yawning. TMJ disorders (TMD) can occur due to injury, arthritis, or stress-related habits like teeth grinding.

Dr. Jared Bloxham, a TMJ specialist, can provide a range of treatments, from custom orthotic therapy, injections, referrals to physical therapy, and heat & cold therapy. Early intervention is key to preventing long-term damage and chronic pain.
