No, you canât lovemake your way to lean. But you can absolutely sleep your way to slender. In fact, no matter how many pounds you press, how many miles you log, how much kohlrabi you crunch, it wonât get you anywhere near your weight loss goals unless youâre also getting enough quality sleep.
In brief: Very common. Sure, TMJ problems can cause facial muscle spasms. It's usually the jaw muscles, on the side of the jaw (the masseter muscle) and on the side of the head or temples (the temporalis muscle) that go into spasm and cause pain from TMJ problems.
These muscles have the ability to refer pain to other areas of your head and neck, including in and behind your eyes. The balance of your head upon your spinal column (neck and back) is also controlled by the contraction of muscles. When these muscles go into spasm, the result is usually head and or neck pain. Because the muscles of the head and neck play a major role in balancing the rest of the muscles along the spine, back pain and other seemingly unrelated symptoms are often seen as a result of TMJ.
