Struggling With Migraines in Reno? Find Lasting Relief at the Source
Find Relief From Chronic Migraines With TMJ-Focused Care
If you suffer from frequent migraines, you know how disruptive they can be to your daily life. What many people don’t realize is that migraines are often linked to underlying issues like TMJ dysfunction, jaw misalignment, or airway problems.
TMJ-related migraines can cause persistent, dull headaches, often accompanied by neck pain, facial tension, dizziness, or ringing in the ears. These symptoms may be worse in the morning or after eating, and they’re often misdiagnosed or treated without addressing the root cause.
At TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Reno, we take a comprehensive approach to migraine relief. By evaluating your jaw function, airway health, and overall alignment, we can identify what’s contributing to your pain and create a personalized treatment plan.
Our goal is not just temporary relief—but long-term improvement in your comfort, sleep, and quality of life.
What Causes TMJ-Related Migraines?
Migraines can be triggered by dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint is not functioning properly, it can create tension, inflammation, and nerve irritation that lead to chronic headaches.
Common contributing factors include:
- Jaw misalignment
- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- Muscle tension in the jaw and neck
- Poor airway function or sleep apnea
- Bite imbalances
Because these issues are structural, treating symptoms alone often isn’t enough. Identifying and correcting the root cause is key to long-term migraine relief.
