Jaw and Thyroid Disease Types

Link between the auto-immune conditions and jaw problems have been well documented but Thyroid conditions, hyperthyroidism such as Grave’s disease and hypothyroidism such as Hashimoto’s disease can affect your jaw joint by causing multiple episodes of inflammation followed by scar formations layer after layer, leading to jaw joint stiffness and tightness and potentially cause arthritis eventually.

You will need to see medical doctors particularly endocrine doctor for your thyroid issues for examinations, diagnosis and treatments.

But Physios can help your jaw by improving joint stiffness, movement quality and jaw positioning.

So earlier the better, I hope this video helps to seek further help ASAP!

Happy Rehab!
