Can Your Jaw Cause Headaches?

If you’ve ever suffered from headaches or migraines (or had patients who do), then I’ve got some insider information for you.

Chronic jaw joint degeneration can result the need for surgery that has an extremely poor prognosis.

TMJ, head and neck pain commonly present with jaw pain, yet the two are rarely treated together. For practitioners it’s important to know how these conditions relate to a dysfunctional jaw.

I’ve looked for solutions on these issues for my patients for years, but this week I found some of the best practical explanations in the world.

On the Mouth Brain Connection Podcast I had the privilege of interviewing a TMJ, Head & Neck Specialist Dr. Joe Damiani

Joe Damiani takes us on a deep dive into TMJ anatomy and why you shouldn’t ignore headaches and teeth grinding.

One big symptom that occurs with TMJ and headaches is teeth grinding. If you suffer from any of these issues I highly suggest listening to this episode.
