What Causes Migraines?

Every migraine sufferer is different, and migraines may be triggered by a variety of factors. Some triggers include certain foods, medications, physical and emotional stress, hormonal imbalance, and even changes in the weather.

Migraines and severe headaches can also be caused by muscle tension related to your bite and jaw. The TMJ (temporomandibular joint) enables your jaw to open, close, and move from side to side. When the TMJ is not functioning properly, it can cause many painful issues, including dizziness, earaches, neck pain, and ‐ you guessed it ‐ tension headaches and migraines.

If you suffer from frequent headaches, jaw pain, and/or migraines, talk to our Redmond dentist about your symptoms during your next visit. He will examine the alignment of your jaw joints, bite, and teeth. Digital x‐rays, if needed, can also be reviewed and may indicate the source of your tension.

Since each migraine and headache sufferer is different, we take time to listen to your specific concerns and symptoms so we can offer you a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Our foremost goal is to help you achieve long‐term, whole‐body health.

If you suffer from headaches, migraines, or jaw pain, don’t hesitate to call us at (425) 883-1253 or contact us to discuss your options!
