What is Causing My Headache or Migraine?
Headaches and migraines have a long, long list of potential causes, but one that most doctors tend to forget is TMD. When the muscles of the jaw strain and overwork themselves, this can lead to tension that radiates throughout the head. This is why treating the head directly doesn’t help—the true source of the pain isn’t getting any attention.
How Do I Know if My Headache or Migraine Warrants Treatment?
A lot of people just try to ignore headaches and migraines and work their way through them. While this might be OK if they only happen once or twice a month, it’s a different story if you get headaches every day or migraines once a week. If your life is often disrupted by head pain (missing work or time with friends and family, or you worry about running out of your medication), it warrants professional treatment. You don’t have to suffer anymore!
Can You Help Alleviate Headache & Migraine Pain?
If your head pain is the result of TMD, then yes, we have multiple solutions that can help. These include wearing an oral appliance to bed to help realign the bite, or we can rebalance how the teeth come together with small adjustments. For immediate relief, we can treat someone using the TENS machine or Botox injections, which can soothe exhausted muscles and remove the tension that is creating the headaches. Our ultimate goal is to make the head pain stop for good because we remove what is ultimately causing it.
