Do you have chronic headaches or migraines? Consider that dentists generally are more knowledgeable concerning the forces of the head and neck muscles. They are also generally more knowledgeable about how these forces relate to the nerves in the jaw, face, TMJ and teeth than other health care providers. These are forces that dentists thoroughly study in dental school and see every day in their dental practices. But recently, dentists have begun to become aware of the link between these dental forces and the symptoms of headaches, migraines, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems experienced by patients.

In most headache, migraine, and TMJ conditions, there is a misalignment of the dental forces when the teeth come together known as a malocclusion. Medicine finally has concrete evidence that when these imbalanced forces are present, there is frequently a connection between these powerful conditions. It‘s the imbalances in the forces that are the cause of these painful conditions. Chiropractors, acupuncturists, neurologists, radiologists, etc. don’t understand the bite problem, the malocclusion, because their training doesn’t include this. So they are not at fault since they just do not know; it’s just the way they are trained.

Today, there are some dentists, like myself, who have combined state-of-the-art dentistry and sports medicine to make the leap from theory to practice to reduce severe headache pain, migraine pain, TMJ pain, and other muscle pain caused by unbalanced dental forces and trigger points in the muscles. For most patients, this pain can be successfully treated without drugs or surgical procedures. One has to understand the diagnosis and treatment of these painful conditions. We, at Heartfelt Headache Relief, have obtained training and qualifications to determine a correct diagnosis and the therapies to complete the treatment.
