The most common cause of back pain is articular dysfunction in the spinal joints resulting from vertebral subluxations, which is why many require low back pain treatment in Santa Fe.
These subluxations cause joint instability and nerve irritation.
The body responds by tightening muscles in the back, "splinting" the joint to protect it from further damage.
Chiropractic care can help.
Massage, medication, exercise, physical therapy, and acupuncture treat the muscle but don't address the underlying cause of the problem.

This is where your skull's temporal bone attaches to your mandible (jaw): the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

In some cases the jaw can even temporarily lock up.
Other TMJ symptoms can include cheek or jaw pain, headaches; tinnitus (ringing in the ears), facial nerve pain; ear pain; dental pain and nausea.
