Understand the Connection Between TMJ Disorders and Headaches

Frequent headaches and migraines are often linked to dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding muscles. When the jaw is misaligned or under stress, it can lead to muscle tension, nerve irritation, and pain that radiates through the head, neck, and even shoulders. Many patients suffer for years without realizing that their headaches may be rooted in a treatable structural issue.

At our Centre, we use advanced diagnostic tools to assess the jaw joint, muscles, and airway to pinpoint the true source of your discomfort. From there, we create a customized, non-invasive treatment plan designed to ease muscle tension, restore balance to the jaw, and provide long-term headache and migraine relief—without relying on medications or temporary fixes.

TMJ-Related Headaches & Migraines – FAQs

Q: Can TMJ cause headaches and migraines?

A: Yes, TMJ and migraine headaches are often closely linked. When the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is misaligned or inflamed, it can cause tension in surrounding muscles, leading to frequent TMJ headaches or even triggering TMJ migraines that resemble traditional migraines in intensity and symptoms.

Q: What are the signs of a TMJ headache?

A: A TMJ headache typically starts near the jaw or temples and may be accompanied by jaw stiffness, clicking sounds, or facial pain. Many patients also report pain that worsens with chewing or talking. If your headaches occur alongside jaw discomfort, TMJ may be the underlying cause.

Q: What TMJ headache treatment options are available?

A: At our St. Louis centre, TMJ headache treatment includes non-invasive solutions like oral appliance therapy, bite adjustment, and targeted muscle therapy. These approaches help relieve pressure on the TMJ and reduce the frequency and severity of headaches and migraines.

Q: Are TMJ and migraines always connected?

A: Not always—but for many patients, TMJ and migraines are intertwined. Dysfunction in the TMJ can aggravate nerves and muscles that contribute to chronic migraines. By addressing TMJ issues, we often see a significant reduction in migraine intensity and frequency.
