Fatigue
Understanding Fatigue and TMJ Disorders
Fatigue is a pervasive sense of tiredness and lack of energy that can significantly impact your quality of life. For many people, this fatigue can be linked to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. When the TMJ is not functioning properly due to misalignment, inflammation, or muscle strain, the body compensates by overworking the jaw, neck, and shoulder muscles. This constant tension can lead to disrupted sleep, chronic pain, and overall exhaustion, making it difficult to function at your best during the day.
Symptoms of Fatigue related to TMJ disorders go beyond simple tiredness. You may experience:
-
Frequent headaches
-
Jaw pain
-
Neck stiffness
-
Difficulty concentrating
-
Sleep disturbances, including trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling unrested upon waking
These issues are often compounded by the physical stress and discomfort caused by teeth grinding, clenching, or misaligned jaw movements, which can prevent your body from achieving the deep, restorative sleep it needs.
