Millions and millions of people suffer from headaches/migraines throughout the year. Some have headaches a few times a year while others have them every day. Headaches/migaines can range from minor pain to life altering pain. The pain can be dull in nature or sharp shooting. Migraines can bring on a host of symptoms and side effects.
There are several types of headaches such as siusitis, migraine, cluster, and tension. Areas of pain can be classified into:
* back of head (occipital) pain
* frontal pain
* side of head (temporal) pain
* top of head (vertex) pain
* eyeball pain
* upper jaw pain
* lower jaw pain
* total head pain
To help rid yourself of head pain, you need to determine the source of your pain. People are constantly seeking relief by taking medications and seeking help through various health professionals. These are valid and important avenues to use. Unfortunately, medications often give only temporary relief and sometimes just partial relief.
One of the most underdiagnosed and successful outcomes to headache relief is having a proper jaw and tooth relationship. The chewing system is composed of the jaws, teeth, and muscles working together. If this intricate system is not in harmony, muscles can become tired and fatigued which leads to headaches. Dr. Sanchez has advanced training to diagnose if the headaches are being caused by the disharmony of the chewing system. If headache relief is obtained during the diagnostic phase, Dr. Sanchez can discuss the options/solutions and correct the problem, giving long term relief to the patient.
