Headaches Phoenix

Do you experience chronic, migraine-like headaches?

Are you a long time sufferer of headaches?  Do you find that you get them very frequently?  Have you consulted various doctors in the past and gotten no clear cut answer that has solved your headaches in Phoenix?  Are your headaches accompanied by other symptoms such as jaw pain, neck pain, or tinnitus?  If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you may be suffering from TMJ Dysfunction.

How can a problem with the jaw joint cause headaches?  While the jaw joint may seem like something that just opens and closes, the fact is that it is a very complex joint connected to other body parts including the neck and the skull.  When the jaw is misaligned due to a misaligned bite (also called “the occlusion”), the body will try to unconsciously pull it into a more ideal position which causes all sorts of strain and pressure.  The strain put on the jaw joint also affects the parts it is connected to, which includes the muscles, nerves, and blood vessels of the skull, which may explain why you are suffering from headaches that never seem to go away for good.
