TMJ-Related Migraine Relief

Understanding Migraines and TMJ

We specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and contribute to sleep disorders. One of the most debilitating conditions our patients face is migraines, which can often be linked to TMJ disorders.

What are Migraines and their Connection to TMJ?

Migraines are intense, throbbing headaches that can cause significant pain and disrupt daily life. They often come with additional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines can last for hours or even days, severely affecting your quality of life.

Many people are unaware of the connection between migraines and TMJ disorders. The TMJ is the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. When this joint is misaligned or under strain, it can cause pain not just in the jaw, but throughout the head and neck. This tension and discomfort can trigger migraines. Factors such as teeth grinding, jaw clenching and misalignment of the jaw can exacerbate TMJ issues, leading to frequent and severe migraine headaches.

Symptoms of TMJ-Related Migraines

If you suffer from migraines and suspect they may be linked to TMJ, look for the following symptoms:

• Jaw pain or stiffness: Discomfort in the jaw, especially when opening or closing your mouth.
• Clicking or popping sounds: Noises when moving the jaw.
• Headaches: Frequent headaches, particularly around the temples.
• Facial pain: Pain radiating from the jaw to the face.
• Ear pain or ringing: Earaches or tinnitus without an ear infection.
• Neck and shoulder pain: Tension and pain extending to the neck and shoulders.
