TMJ disorder and headaches
 One out of every 10 Americans
suffers from
chronic headaches, and they spend over half a billion dollars
every year for over-the-counter medications to relieve their pain. They
never imagine that their headaches may be caused by TMJ, and that their
pain is the result of a bad bite.
At University Associates in Dentistry we know a bad bite
can put your jaw-to-skull relationship out of alignment. When this
happens, TMJ symptoms occur. This cluster of symptoms can include:
headaches, earaches, ear ringing, loud jaw clicking, even stiffness and
pain in the jaw, neck, shoulders and back. This cluster has puzzled
doctors in the past. Now we can put a name to it: TMJ Disorder.
According to recent studies, more than 40 million Americans (including
many in the Chicago, The Loop & Gold Coast areas) suffer with
TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) or MPD (Myofascial Pain
Dysfunction). The good news is that we at University Associates in Dentistry are taking the lead in finding
solutions.
If you, or someone you love, suffer from the symptoms of TMJ, set up an
appointment by calling us at (312) 704-5511 soon. You may find that TMJ is the missing
piece in the puzzle -- and, that the treatment works!
