TMJ & Headaches
Do you suffer from chronic headaches, migraines, or facial pain? Have you been to a physician or tried home remedies, and nothing seems to work? Many patients are unaware that their pain may stem from issues with the joints and muscles that control chewing. Over 10 million Americans suffer from TMJ disorder and many more are undiagnosed. Dr. Wagner has extensive training in neuromuscular issues, such as TMJ disorder, and he can offer a solution that will alleviate your pain and give you back your smile.
TMJ is an acronym for temporomandibular joint. These joints are located in front of the ears, and they work with facial muscles, ligaments, and nerves to allow a smooth range of motion. When the joints become misaligned due to stress, injury, disease, or other factors, the result is TMJ disorder or TMD. Patients with TMJ disorder may experience:
- Headaches & Migraines
- Jaw Pain, Clicking, or Popping
- Neck, Back, or Shoulder Pain
- Difficulty Speaking or Chewing
- Tinnitus (Ringing in the Ears)
- Tingling in the Extremities
- Vertigo (Dizziness)
TMJ disorder and a misaligned bite often go hand in hand. Patients with TMJ disorder may grind their teeth and suffer from worn or misaligned teeth. Dr. Wagner has extensive training in “bite” issues (occlusion), as well as neuromuscular dentistry from several world-renowned postgraduate facilities, including the Las Vegas Institute and the Dawson Academy. His training and experience allows him to accurately diagnose TMJ disorder and provide effective solutions.
