How is a headache caused?

Truly doctors wouldn’t know the exact cause of headaches. Regardlessly all headaches are mediated by the Trigeminal nerve. Most research indicates that the pain from headaches comes from a mixture of signals between the brain, blood vessels and nerves. These are very specific nerves around our blood vessels and the muscles in our head, neck and jaw. When these get turned on, signals pain to our brain.
We believe the pain signals to the brain are caused due to muscle dysfunction., We believe dysfunctional muscles i.e. the muscles that are swollen and that are inflamed put pressure on the nerves and this pressure contributes to headaches. Typically those who have chronic headaches also have other issues related to muscle dysfunction that is neck pain, jaw pain, worn off teeth due to grinding, and postural imbalances from the jaw all the way down to the feet.
Dysfunctional muscles lead to.
headaches,.
ear and neck pain,
jaw pain.
Patients having forward neck and shoulder posture due to mouth breathing, tongue ties or other causes show a rotation in the upper cervical vertebrae especially C1(Atlas) which can contribute to headaches as well.

Non Invasive Treatment For Headaches

If the cause is your TMJ, treatments aiming at the root cause can help ease headache pain and allow you to take precautions to prevent future headaches. We need to focus on a neuromuscular balance that can be achieved with myofascial massage, LLLT, myofunctional therapy, GNM orthotics and teeth alignment., When muscles become less inflamed, the pressure is then taken off the nerves and headaches are decreased drastically. We believe that lowering the threshold of excitation of the trigeminal nerve by putting the muscles in the most relaxed position is what contributes to treatments being more successful. Additionally,physical therapists and chiropractors , can help with the alignments of the C1 vertebrae and postural issues that are contributing to the headaches. It helps to decrease all kinds of headaches.
