Migraine Treatment

in Orlando, Florida

TMJ migraines and headaches occur when your teeth and the joint that connects your lower jaw to your skull, the temporomandibular joint, come out of alignment.  When the temporomandibular joint is out of alignment, it is referred to as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, or TMJ.

TMJ causes the muscles in the neck, shoulders, and jaw to overcompensate and strain, causing painful headaches and migraines.  For many TMJ sufferers, the misalignment causes TMJ headaches and TMJ migraines.  In addition to headaches and migraines, TMJ can also cause many other symptoms, including:

  • Back Aches
  • Shoulder Aches
  • Abnormal Tooth Wear
  • Snoring
  • Jaw Pain and Aches
  • Ear aches or Stuffiness
  • Ringing Ears (Tinnitus)
  • Clicking and Popping in the Jaw
  • Dizziness
  • Difficulty Swallowing

TMJ headaches and migraines result from the strained muscles around the temporomandibular joint, neck, and head. When these muscles are over-strained, they can cause persistent, reoccurring headaches that can be so painful, they feel like migraines.  Often times, TMJ sufferers can go years without being properly diagnosed by a trained neuromuscular dentist like Dr. Castellini in Orlando, Florida.

It is estimated that between 40 and 50 million Americans are suffering from or more TMJ symptoms, and millions of people are dealing with painful migraines and headaches simply because they have not been diagnosed with TMJ.  Neuromuscular dentistry can alleviate the unnecessary pain and suffering caused by chronic TMJ migraines or TMJ headaches.

Neuromuscular dentistry makes sure that your smile is healthy by repositioning and realigning the jaw and placing it in its optimal position, relieving you of your TMJ symptoms.  In order to accomplish this, Dr. Castellini and other neuromuscular dentists use state-of-the-art technology like electromyography and sonography to track your jaw and determine where it should be in relation to your upper teeth.

Once your jaw has been placed in its optimal position, you can expect to be relieved of your painful headaches and migraines associated with TMJ.  Aligning your temporomandibular joint will also alleviate other TMJ symptoms, allowing you to benefit from better overall and dental health. 

Why suffer needlessly another day?  In most TMJ cases, your TMJ migraines, headaches, or other symptoms can be successfully treated and reduce or eliminate your pain and discomfort.  By postponing TMJ treatment, you may cause more damage to the joint, muscles, or your teeth.  Contact Dr. Castellini at her Orlando, Florida neuromuscular dentistry office today to schedule your personal TMJ screening.
