What a Headache !!!

Do you get frequent headaches?

 That question is asked to every new patient on our health history.  When I see a 'no' answer, the follow up question is,  how often do you get headaches?

Answers run from almost never to daily.  Some people think daily is not frequent.  For someone who rarely gets a headache, weekly is frequent.

Often patients tell me that it is their sinuses, but when they visit their doctor, the diagnosis is clear sinuses.  A patient points to their forehead and I ask does it go into your eye?  "How did you know?"

People don't relate TMJ (jaw joint), bite and muscle problems with headaches...but I see it every day! The muscles that conrol our TMJ are many and their interactions are complicated.   Like muscles in any other part of your body they can fall into disharmony and become antogonistic to each other often resulting in headaches and other issues.

So if you get headaches, at any regular frequency, wouldn't it be nice to have them reduced or eliminated? Most likely we can help.  Feel free to contact me with questions and we can chat.
