TMJ Migraine Relief

Are You Suffering From Constant TMJ Migraines?

For many people, the intense pain and discomfort of a migraine can be debilitating. But did you know that migraines may sometimes be linked to TMJ symptoms? TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder, is a condition affecting the jaw joints and muscles. Its symptoms can include jaw pain, headaches, and even earaches. When these muscles become tense or misaligned, they can trigger migraines in some individuals. Fortunately, treating TMJ can often provide relief from migraine symptoms as well. If you experience frequent and severe migraines, it may be worth evaluating your TMJ to see if this could be contributing to your pain.

A proper TMJ treatment plan, including exercises and lifestyle changes, can make a significant impact on migraine frequency and intensity. In fact, studies have shown that receiving TMJ care results in improved symptom control for those with chronic migraines. So if you suffer from frequent headaches or migraines, consider seeking treatment for your TMJ as well. Not only could it improve your jaw function and reduce any related pain, but it may also lead to fewer debilitating migraine episodes. Don’t underestimate the power of a healthy jaw!

Headache and Migraine FAQs from the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of the South Shore

Q. Can TMJ cause headaches?

A. Yes, TMJ headache symptoms are common in patients with jaw joint dysfunction. When the temporomandibular joint is irritated or the jaw muscles become overworked, it can lead to tension and pain that spreads into the temples, forehead, or head.

Q. What is the connection between TMJ and migraine headaches?

A. Many patients experience overlap between jaw dysfunction and migraines. TMJ and migraine headaches may be linked through muscle tension, inflammation, and nerve irritation in the jaw and facial region.

Q. Can TMJ contribute to migraines?

A. For some individuals, TMJ migraine symptoms may occur when jaw strain triggers pain pathways in the head and neck. Addressing TMJ-related muscle tension may help reduce the frequency or intensity of migraine episodes.

Q. What are signs that my headaches may be TMJ-related?

A. Headaches that occur alongside jaw clicking, clenching, facial soreness, or difficulty opening the mouth may suggest a TMJ component. Dr. Alison Freeman can evaluate whether your symptoms may be connected to jaw function.

Q. Should I see a headache doctor near me or a TMJ dentist?

A. If you’ve searched for a headache doctor near me but continue to experience symptoms along with jaw discomfort, a TMJ-focused evaluation may be helpful. The TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of the South Shore offers care that addresses jaw-related causes of chronic headaches and migraines.
