Restless Leg Syndrome

Restless leg syndrome

Our nerves radiate throughout our bodies, and are connected in complex and interconnected. When one part of the body is injured or not working properly, nerves in other parts of the body can be affected. With TMJ, nerves to the legs are often intercepted, and can cause tingling, restlessness, and numbness. Often, this restlessness comes out at night, when we are finally relaxed and not using our legs as we are during the day. Restless legs can often be so uncomfortable and intense that it can cause difficultly falling asleep, and can even wake you up in the middle of the night.
