Headaches-Relief at Last!

Every year, billions of dollars are spent on medication to relieve headaches. Billions more are lost due to time away from work for headache sufferers. Why do we have so many headaches and what can be done about them? Janet Travell, M.D. was White House Physician under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson who wrote landmark textbook Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction. Dr. Travell estimated that 90% of pain in head, neck, and face was due to painful muscles. As dentists, we know that if bite is not balanced, pain and other symptoms can develop. This is commonly known as TMD (or TMJ). Our jaw is supported by a sling of muscles that guide our teeth together in our habitual bite. If our bite is in harmony with our muscles, everything feels good. But if our muscles have to strain on a regular basis just to bring our bite together, symptoms can develop. These symptoms take form of headaches, neck and shoulder pain, feelings of ear congestion, dizziness, and other symptoms not commonly considered "dental."
