Headaches, Migraines and TMJ

Consider This —

  • Are Headaches or Migraines a part of your life?
  • Do you need medication to stop the pain?
  • Do you sometimes feel helpless and unable to function?

Headaches Caused By Chewing Muscles

A surprising number of people with headaches and migraines suffer from a faulty interplay of the chewing system. The muscles which open, move, and close the jaw can be in an unnoticeable state of tension since they cannot achieve a comfortable resting position that balances chewing with closing and resting. Low level tension and spasm will eventually rise to the surface as headaches and migraines.

Find Deeper Headache Relief Without Drugs or Appliances

If you’re looking for deeper relief,  the correct treatment may be precision balancing of your bite. This treatment can eliminate the use of drugs and mouth guards by getting to the cause of the problem.

As seen in the video below, we use a T-Scan III computer analysis of your bite that shows the balance of forces when you chew and whether bite balancing is appropriate. Over the last 30 years VA dentist Dr. Richard Miller has been providing relief to many headache, migraine and TMJ patients. Our team is gentle and considerate with these problems. We will do everything possible to relieve your pain and get you back to a normal, pain-free lifestyle.
