If you are experiencing intense headaches that seem to have the intensity of migraines, this may be due to issues with TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint). Often times patients mistake migraines for aggravation in the TMJ joints. Come see the TMJ experts in Honolulu if you have been misdiagnosed before and still have trouble getting rid of what may be perceived as a migraine.
Dr. Mark of the Tasaki TMJ Headache Center can help to identify TMJ in all its many guises. Tooth pain naturally lends itself to dental work, but if dental work proves futile, it may be necessary to check out your upper and lower mandible. In Honolulu, rest assured that our experts have the analytical skills to determine if your toothache is actually an issue with TMJ.
The upper jaw (maxilla) and the lower jaw (mandible) operate using a simple ball and socket joint. If this becomes dislodged due to tension, stress, or teeth grinding, the result is a malfunctioning of the TMJ. Since this joint is one of the most frequently used joints in our entire bodies, it is not uncommon for the ball and socket joint to malfunction, and for muscles to become tender surrounding this area.
Sinus congestion is another misdiagnosed issue that may be due to stress in the jaw. If you have experienced fullness and tightness in the face and do not normally suffer from sinus issues, this may be a form of TMJ malfunctioning. We can guide you through the necessary measures to aid in your speedy recovery.
