HOLIDAY HEADACHE? IT MAY BE TMJ

Stress is a major cause of headaches. It can also lead to behaviors like jaw clinching and teeth grinding – both of which can trigger TMJ. If you are suffering from frequent headaches this Holiday Season, stress induced TMJ may be at the root of the problem.

If your headaches are being caused by TMJ, Barrie dentist Dr. Adam Chapnick may have the treatment you need for lasting relief. However, when tension is causing TMJ headaches, professional treatments alone may not be fully effective. This is why Dr. Chapnick often recommends stress-reduction in combination with treatment to help produce long-term pain relief.

Dr. Chapnick can assist in muscle release during your neuromuscular dental visits by using state-of-the-art technology such as a TENS Unit. This unit sends gentle electrical pulses through the jaw to instantly release muscle tension, improve comfort, and assist in realigning the jaw. Dr. Chapnick will happily discuss this and other TMJ treatment options during your next visit to our office.
