TMJ headaches: the two more common types of headaches are Migraine and Tension Headaches. I can’t help you out much with Migraine headaches, although sometimes people are misdiagnosed with Tension headaches as Migraines. so, there still is hope if you have a “Headache”, that you can be cured of your headaches with TMJ Therapy so, I’d recommend you rule out the Tension headache and treat it with TMJ splint therapy to see if it helps. if it doesn’t, then continue with the Migraine Treatment. you can treat the TMJ Headaches as a Tension headaches, because that’s what they are….Tension Headaches.

That is when your Jaw muscles are in a spasm and just won’t let you open your mouth.
