TMJ Headaches Detroit

Novi, Michigan

Do you suffer from frequent headaches along with other problems, such as neck or jaw pain? Even if headaches are your only symptom, your headaches may be caused by TMJ disorder. TMJ headaches come about because the muscles and nerves in your head are connected to your TMJ, and when your TMJ is constantly straining to find a balanced position for your bite, as is the case in TMJ disorder patients, there is a domino effect. The stressed out muscles in the TMJ in turn put strain on the muscles and nerves in the surrounding parts of the head and neck, causing frequent headaches.

Headaches are the most common symptom of TMJ and can be extremely painful. Though headaches will usually go away especially with various headache treatments such as drugs or massage, TMJ headaches will continue return until your TMJ is brought into its proper position and balance.

To get rid of your frequent headaches, it’s first important to figure out what is causing them. Contact our Detroit-area dental office to schedule a neuromuscular evaluation. Dr. Serra will use cutting edge dental technology to diagnose any imbalances in your bite that could be causing TMJ headaches. If you are in fact diagnosed with TMJ disorder, you will need to be treated ASAP to stop the headaches in their tracks. Why put yourself through more frustration and pain?
