Migraines and Headaches
Treating the cause, not just the symptoms
UNDERSTANDING The Pain
Is My Headache Jaw Related?
At Brookside Sleep Wellness, we understand how debilitating headaches and migraines can be. Headaches and migraines are common medical conditions that affect millions of people around the world.
A headache is usually a mild to moderate pain in your head or neck, while a migraine is an intense throbbing sensation that can cause severe discomfort. Common symptoms associated with both types of headaches include sensitivity to light, sound, nausea, and vomiting. In many cases, headaches and migraines are caused by tension in the muscles of the jaw known as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder.
