Jaw and hip pain

July 7, 2009 by Jessica Leave a Comment

I have a friend who thought she had an ear infection but instead was told by a D.O. that she has TMJ – jaw pain. I mentioned to her the connection between hips and the jaw but had no resources to share to back me up. I’ve heard it from numerous practitioners from dentists to birth professionals, but I didn’t get the windfall I expected upon Googling. Most of the info is more general about posture & alignment.

Here are some of the links that came up. It’s way too late and I think I’m clenching my jaw and tensing my legs & hips as I type!
