Migraines,Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ), and Facial Pain Relief

Do you have any of these symptoms?

• Frequent headaches, including what has been diagnosed as "migraine".

• Clicking or pain in the jaw joints.

• Pain or difficulty when opening or closing the mouth.

• Pain, ringing, or fullness in the ears.

• Neck, shoulder, and/or facial pain.

• Eye pain or visual disturbances

Sound familiar? If it does, you may have developed what dentists call TMJ (it has other similar names).

Some things that can cause this are:

• Trauma to the jaw

• Teeth clenching or grinding (bruxism)

• Stress, which can set off muscle spasms

• Improper bite alignment

• Over activity of the motor and sensory nerves that connect to the muscles of your face.

You'd be surprised how many people have this. It shouldn't be ignored, because it gets worse over time.

I had these really bad migraines. You treated me with an NTI and since I've been using it my migraines have decreased substantially. I won't sleep without it.

I've been your patient for over four years. It is so different from my previous experiences. You are all so friendly, spend so much time with me and ask so many questions. You are wonderful.

Thank you so much.
