What is MJ Disorder ?    

Do you feel pain or hear a clicking sound when you chew, yawn, or talk? You could be dealing with MJ Disorder — more commonly known as TMJ Disorder (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction).

What is the MJ (TMJ) Joint ?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your lower jaw (mandible) to your skull, just in front of your ears. It helps with everyday movements like chewing, speaking, and yawning. When this joint is stressed, inflamed, or misaligned, it leads to MJ Disorder.

Common Symptoms:

Jaw pain or tightness

Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds

Difficulty opening or closing the mouth

Headaches or earaches

Locking of the jaw (open or closed position)

Possible Causes:

Teeth grinding (bruxism)

Jaw injury or misalignment

Arthritis in the joint

High stress or poor posture

Clenching teeth due to anxiety

In Summary   

MJ Disorder (TMJ Dysfunction) affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, making daily actions like chewing, talking, or yawning painful. Common symptoms include jaw stiffness, clicking sounds, headaches, and even lockjaw.

It’s often caused by teeth grinding, stress, jaw misalignment, or arthritis. Simple steps like posture correction, jaw exercises, and physical therapy can ease symptoms and restore function.

Early care is key—don’t ignore the signs. With proper treatment, most people can reduce pain, improve jaw movement, and prevent long-term issues.
