Can pain be hereditary?

I have recently examined several teenage female patients. Common symptoms are headaches, migraines, ear pain/congestion, facial pain, depression, and more. Most had a history of facial trauma or orthodontic care. Their mothers have the same problems usually, just worse! I believe there are hereditary factors of structure going on here. One of the mothers said, "I have a 12 year old that I think you should see before he ends up like my daughter and me." I said yes, if we can correct the structural problems early, it's very likely we can prevent all of "the family problems." It is beneficial to treat early and stop the inevitable process of getting worse with the aging process.



Yours for better health, Dr. Roubal
