Do you Grind your teeth?
Clenching your jaw, or grinding your teeth can happen for a variety of reasons, and can happen both while you are awake and while you are asleep so you might not even notice. It can cause a range of issues
Headache The muscles that move and clench your jaw are all connected somewhere in your skull, and these muscles can be tight, get knots and be fatigued and cause headaches.
Neck Pain The nerves that link your teeth, jaw joints,and head all converge in the top part of your neck and can cause neck pain if you have been grinding for a while.
Jaw pain Like any other joint in your body, too much pressure for a sustained period will cause damage, and grinding or clenching can cause jaw joint pain also.
Tooth Damage There is a huge amount of pressure going through your teeth while you clench, and over time this can wear away the enamel on your teeth, and can cause irreversible tooth damage. this is more of a dental issue to fix, but a chiropractor can help you identify if it is a problem for you.
