THE SECRET TO CURING YOUR HEADACHES

A week to educate the public about the severity and reality of persistent headache pain as a legitimate biological ailments and encourage headache sufferers to consult with their health care provider – such as a family dentist – to seek treatment. There are a number of headache sufferers in the Barrie, Ontario area who may be unaware that physiologic dentistry can alleviate their pain.

TMJ/TMD Headaches

Headaches caused by TMJ/TMD pain are the result of increased tension and stress on your jaw muscles and mouth alignment. With the strain, muscles swell in a way that increases pressure on your nerves. With the nerve pain, your brain receives signals which cause headache pain. In that case physiotherapy might be an option.

In addition to headaches, some of the other symptoms which may be associated with TMJ disorders are:

• Popping, locking, or clicking of your jaw-joint
• Tinnitus or consistent ringing in your ear
• Persistent tooth ache, tooth pain or heightened sensitivity
• Joint pain in front of your ear
• Facial pain or muscle pain in your cheeks
