π¦· What Does a TMJ Specialist Do?
A TMJ specialist focuses on diagnosing and treating disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) — the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint is out of alignment or stressed, it can cause a variety of uncomfortable and even debilitating symptoms.
Common signs you may need to see a TMJ specialist include:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking or popping when chewing or yawning
- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Earaches or a sense of fullness in the ears
- Neck, shoulder, or facial pain
- Difficulty opening or closing your mouth fully

π¬ Real Patient Results
"The staff and crew of Dr Bloxem go above and beyond to make everyone informed and comfortable. I have been told for years that nothing can be done for TMJ. MY DENTIST gave me a referral for Dr Bloxem.
He has been a life saver. I fell down a flight of stairs and really damaged my neck and jaw. Thanks to PT and Dr Bloxem I am almost back to normal. I highly recommend Columbia Center for Sleep Apnea and TMJ. It has been such a blessing in my life."
