Episode 23 - Neck Training for Jaw Pain? A New Approach to TMD Relief

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a common source of jaw pain, headaches, and neck discomfort—especially in women. In this episode, we break down a recent randomized controlled trial that tested whether an 8-week neck exercise program could help. The results? Reduced pain, improved jaw function, and better quality of life. We explore how the neck and jaw are neurologically linked and what this means for conservative care. Tune in to learn how targeted neck training could be a game-changer for chronic TMD management.
