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.
