Best Migraine Doctors in Spring, TX, Headache Treatment In Spring TX 77388
Book NowPeople don’t generally think of a dentist as the healthcare professional to see for recurring headaches or migraines, yet dentists can play a role in diagnosing and even treating your condition. That’s because quite often, recurring pain that is felt in the area of the temples on the sides of the head is actually caused by unconscious habits of clenching and/or grinding the teeth. These habits, which often manifest during sleep, put tremendous pressure on the muscles that work your jaw joint
The fan-shaped temporalis muscles on either side of your head above the temples are involved in jaw movement. You can feel them working if you put your fingertips on your temples while clenching your jaw. When temporalis muscles spasm from clenching, headache symptoms occur. Headaches and migraines don’t exclusively result from TMJ problems. But because there is an established link between them, a diagnosis is required. Headache And Migraine Treatment in spring, TX
Headaches are characterized by dull, aching pain that may be felt across the forehead, behind the eyes or on the sides or back of the head. A migraine is a specific type of headache that may include additional symptoms such as extreme sensitivity to light and sound, nausea and/or vomiting and throbbing pain particularly on one side of the head.
Our specialists assess each patient's symptoms to diagnose specific types of headache or migraine and create a plan for the appropriate treatment.
A headache might be due to tension if the pain is dull and achy. Tension headaches are also usually accompanied by a sore neck and can often be treated with over-the-counter pain medications. A migraine is characterized by throbbing, severe pain that lasts from 4 to 72 hours (3 days). Nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound can also accompany the pain. Migraines may be preceded by what is called a migraine aura (visual or other symptoms associated with a migraine coming on). If the symptoms of a migraine present, the best course of action is to rest or try to sleep in a quiet, dark room. A hot or cold compress on the forehead can also help. If these do not work, a migraine specialist can recommend other non-drug therapies or prescription medications.
