TMJ / TMD / HEADACHES

How to Take the Bite Out of Headaches?
Are you bothered by headaches? Tired of taking medicines and drugs? It could be your bite!

Migraines and tension headaches are often the hallmark signs of bite problems related to the way the jaws and teeth fit together. When teeth and jaws are not balanced properly, it can result in muscle spasms and headaches. Involvement of the Trigeminal nerve is central to these problems. Often, more drugs are not the answer!

Tense muscles and jaw joints can become strained as they attempt to make the teeth work together and to brace head posture. This added strain creates a problem called TemporoMandibular Disorder (TMD), and is one of the leading reasons for headaches, face and jaw pain, ear problems, as well as neck and back pain.

Many headache sufferers are finding relief from migraines and headache pain with proper neuromuscular balancing of their dental bite. When the dental bite is properly treated and supported, pain and drug use is reduced, and peace-of-mind is restored.

“The underlying mechanism [for migraine] is sensitization
of the central trigeminovascular neurons.”
Headache in Clinical Practice 2002

If you suffer from migraines and headaches, relief may be as close at hand as your dentist. Calming down the trigeminal nervous system by protecting and balancing the bite, can help you end your search for relief (and pain medication) by helping you take “a bite out of the pain”.
