Headaches and Migraines

TMJ Headache & Migraine Therapy in Frederick MD

Debilitating chronic headaches and migraines can significantly impact your daily life. While many seek various forms of migraine treatment, addressing the root cause is crucial for lasting relief. In some cases, the underlying factor may be Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) dysfunction, also known as TMD. Unfortunately, this connection is often overlooked, leaving individuals suffering without realizing they could benefit from the expertise of a TMJ specialist.

Jaw tension can be a major contributor to muscle tension headaches and migraines. Instead of relying on temporary solutions like painkillers, a more comprehensive approach involves exploring the benefits of TMJ therapy. By addressing TMJ-related issues, patients can preemptively manage muscle tension headaches and migraines, leading to long-term relief.

TMJ dysfunction is a common, often overlooked, cause of migraines. TMJ therapy targets the root cause, providing a more effective and lasting solution compared to mere symptom management.

Understanding the Link Between TMJ Disorders and Headaches

Individuals grappling with temporomandibular joint disorders often experience discomfort in the face and jaw, accompanied by persistent headaches and migraines. Identifying the source of TMJ disorders can be challenging, with stress-induced bruxism (teeth grinding) being a common culprit. The resulting jaw tension becomes a significant trigger for migraines.
