Can TMJ Disorders Cause Dizziness?

Dizziness or vertigo is another surprising symptom linked to TMJ disorders. The temporomandibular joint’s location near the inner ear, which controls balance, means that TMJ inflammation can sometimes disrupt this system.

People with TMJ-related dizziness often notice improvement after addressing jaw alignment or reducing muscle tension. Recognizing this connection can prevent misdiagnosis and lead to more effective treatment.
