    Frequently Asked Questions About Headaches and Migraine Relief in Utah

    Q: Can TMJ cause headaches or migraines?

    A: Yes, TMJ dysfunction is a common but often overlooked cause of chronic headaches and migraines. The connection between TMJ and migraine headaches stems from muscle tension, nerve irritation, and jaw misalignment that can radiate pain throughout the head, neck, and face.

    Q: What does a TMJ headache feel like?

    A: A TMJ headache often presents as a dull, aching pain in the temples, behind the eyes, or around the jaw. It may be accompanied by jaw stiffness, clicking, or facial soreness—especially after chewing, clenching, or waking up.

    Q: How are TMJ migraines different from other types of migraines?

    A: TMJ migraines are triggered by dysfunction in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, rather than hormonal or neurological causes. They may come with additional symptoms like jaw pain, limited jaw movement, and ear pressure, making them distinct from typical migraine episodes.

    Q: What types of TMJ headache treatment do you offer?

    A: At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Utah, we offer non-invasive TMJ headache treatment that targets the root cause of your pain. This may include oral appliances, jaw alignment therapy, muscle relaxation techniques, and lifestyle modifications to relieve strain and restore function.

    Q: Can treating TMJ really help with migraines?

    A: Absolutely. For patients struggling with TMJ and migraines, treating the jaw joint can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks. By addressing the underlying dysfunction, we help patients achieve lasting relief and improved quality of life.
