How TMJ Can Cause a Headache or Migraine
If there is an imbalance in the jaw or facial muscles, this can create tension that can easily radiate into the head, causing a headache or migraine. What often ends up happening is that the jaw muscles are overworking or dysfunctional, and once they tire out, this can lead to pain felt in the head. Because the problem starts in the jaw, this is why many patients with headaches and migraines haven’t achieved long-term relief with treatments that address the head directly.
When Should I Get Professional Treatment for My Headaches / Migraines?
Everyone experiences a headache from time to time, but if you get a headache or migraine multiple times a week, then you should definitely seek out professional care, as this is a sign that something isn’t working properly. You should also see a doctor if your headaches or migraines are so bad that you have to miss work or social functions. When it comes to persistent head pain, you don’t have to simply live with it!
Can You Help Stop My Headaches / Migraines?
The key to stopping head pain due to a TMJ problem is to correct the imbalance in the jaw muscles, and there are several, relatively simple ways to do this. It may involve slightly adjusting the teeth so the bite is more even, which will prevent the tension that leads to head pain. Or, a patient may be asked to wear a small, custom oral appliance to bed that will stop them from grinding their teeth, another common source of headaches. Our team utilizes a Sphenocath, as it helps relieve the pain in the nerves of the face during the treatment. The benefit of treating the jaw as opposed to the head in this case is that once the headaches/migraines stop, they shouldn’t come back because the underlying cause has been removed.
