Headaches
Understanding TMJ Disorders and Their Effects on Headaches
The temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull, plays a crucial role in daily functions like chewing, speaking, and even breathing. When this joint is out of alignment or under stress, it can lead to:
- Muscle tension in the head, neck, and shoulders
- Pain that radiates to the temples, forehead, or back of the head
- Migraines or tension-type headaches
TMJ disorders often cause or exacerbate headaches due to the close interaction of muscles and nerves in the jaw, face, and head.
Sleep Disorders and Headaches
If you wake up with a headache, it may be a sign of an underlying sleep issue like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or bruxism (teeth grinding). These conditions can reduce the quality of your sleep and strain the muscles of the jaw, leading to chronic pain and fatigue.
