Treating Migraines and Headaches through TMJ Therapy

Do you wake up with headaches? Does your jaw hurt when you chew? You might have TMJ problems. At Nevada OMS, we help many Las Vegas patients find relief from headaches caused by jaw joint issues.

What is TMJ?

Your TMJ is that joint that links your jaw to your skull. It could be visualized as a sliding hinge that helps you to talk, chew, and yawn. When this joint does not work the right way, it might cause you a lot of pain.

Common Signs of TMJ Problems

Most people with TMJ issues have the following:

  • Morning headaches
  • Jaw pain
  • Ear pain
  • Neck aches
  • Clicking sounds when eating
  • Trouble opening their mouth

How TMJ Causes Headaches

When your jaw joint is stressed, it affects nearby muscles and nerves. This can trigger:

  • Temple pain
  • Face pain
  • Neck tension
  • Migraines
  • Tooth Sensitivity

  • Custom mouthguards
  • Jaw exercises

If these don’t help, we might suggest:

  • Special TMJ therapy

  • Minor procedures
  • Medicine options

Getting Relief at Home

You can ease TMJ pain by:

  • Eating soft foods
  • Avoiding chewy foods
