Migraines/TMJ
In Lodi, CA
What Are Migraines/TMJ?
Migraines are intense, throbbing headaches often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. They can last from hours to days and significantly impact daily life. TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders affect the jaw joints and surrounding muscles, leading to pain, discomfort, and difficulty in jaw movement. Both conditions can be chronic and debilitating. They often require a multidisciplinary approach for effective management.
