Migraine
headaches have been diagnosed historically
as vascular headaches with treatment protocols limited to pharmaceuticals
that treat the symptoms but do nothing to address the cause. Recent nationwide work in the field
of functional jaw orthopedics has shown a dramatic correlation between migraine
headaches and TMJ dysfunction through actual treatment results. Over 90%
of patients with migraine headache symptoms have been shown to have TMJ
dysfunction and, when treated, 90% of these patients have had total migraine
symptom relief.Functional jaw orthopedics is non-surgical,
reversible treatment of the temporomandibular (jaw) joint and is explained
further on the links below.If you have further questions after
