Neck Pain Treatment Omaha, Nebraska

Because of the proximity of the jaw and neck, in TMD patients, pain caused by a problem within the jaw can easily cause pain in the neck as well. This is known as referred pain and it is a common in patients with untreated TMJ disorder (TMD).

Though neck pain may not seem to be a serious condition, neck pain can radiate into the back and even into the shoulders. This can affect your posture which can lead to other problems. Neck pain has also been linked to:

• Sore throat
• Numbness in the extremities
• Shoulder aches
• Tired and/or sore neck, including severe neck pain
• Difficulty swallowing
• Neck stiffness
• Hunched back posture

If you have noticed that you suffer from neck pain that never seems to go away completely, you could have a problem within your TMJ. With the right diagnosis and treatment, your neck pain will vanish. However, in order to be properly diagnosed and given the right treatment plan, you’ll need to work with a dentist who is experienced in treating TMJ.
