TMJ & Craniofacial Pain (CFP) Symptoms

Sarasota, Venice, and Bradenton, Florida

TMJ or Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, TMD, is a unique disorder because its symptoms do not always affect the jaw, mouth, or teeth; it can cause craniofacial pain as well as referred pain and fatigue all over the body, making some people suffer for years before determining what the true problem is.
