TMJ HEADACHES , TMJ & TAKING MEDICATION
HEADACHES, TMJ, & TAKING MEDICATIONS
Many of you are probably taking medications regularly to try and control the pain and discomfort from headaches. This is not referring to prescription medications for headaches not related to TMJ and is certainly understandable. So often, we see patients living on Advil, Tylenol, and muscle relaxants as the only way to cope or bring the pain under control.
Massages and physical therapy do help the patients who fall in this category. What is important to note is that this is only a temporary solution to the pain and the reason that the pain returns is the problem has not been corrected. If your bite is out of alignment and causing the muscle pain and headaches then getting a massage will be a temporary fix.
The goal of neuromuscular dentistry is not only to make you feel better, but to correct the misalignment that is causing the headaches so that patients can live without the medications as well, which further contributes to their overall health.
If you have any questions about TMJ related headaches, please feel free to contact our office at 713-668-2289, as we welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you. Ronald W. Konig DDS, FAGD, LVIF
