Today we know that there are many causes
of head and neck problems that may or may not be related to the
temporomandibular joint. For this reason, although not as widely familiar, most
dentists use TMD (for Temporo Mandibular Disorders) or CFP (Cranio Facial Pain) to more accurately
describe the condition.
You
may normally think of a number of your symptoms of TMD as being medical
conditions. People simply are not in the habit of thinking of a dentist when
seeking headache treatment. Unfortunately, many
who suffer from TMD cannot find effective treatment. Patients have reported
often consulting many physicians, only to find that no one has been able to
help them; reason for which you ought to consult a TMJ/TMD expert dentist. For
the Neuromuscular trained dentist, the success rate in curing tension headaches
is at least 95%.
