TMJ Symptoms: Numbness or Tingling in Hands / Arms
How a Neuromuscular Dentist Can Help
The nerves and muscles in the jaw area of the face are very complex, so when your bite is off, these nerves and muscles are also affected. A misaligned bite can cause the muscles throughout the jaw, face, neck and shoulders to go into spasm. When these muscles (scalenus) are in spasm they can pinch the nerves (brachial plexus) leading down the arms and into the hands, which in turn results in feelings of numbness or tingling.
Neuromuscular dentists can help you with numbness or tingling in your hands or arms by working with the source of the problem—your bite. Once your bite is aligned, the muscles affected by the jaw joint will be able to go back to their normal function, relieving the spasm and the numbness and tingling that are felt as a result.
