What are some of the Symptoms of TMJ

One of the most common symptoms of TMJ is a dull, aching pain around the ears or even migraines / TMJ headaches. Sometimes this pain radiates to the neck, worsening these headaches and migraines. Additionally, TMJ patients may have ringing in the ears, popping sounds in the TMJ joint, migraines and other headache pain, such as neck and shoulder pain.

Rebound Headaches and Rebound Migraine Headaches: "The longer a person stays on Headache and Migraine medications, the worse the Headaches and Migraines become and the stronger the medications needed". These are called Rebound Headaches and Rebound Migraine Headaches.

Instead of medications, one of the therapies Dr. Frager uses for treatment of head and neck muscle pain, TMJ joint pain, headaches and migraine headaches is Alpha Stim Therapy. FDA approved and clinically proven, Alpha-Stim microcurrent delivers a safe dose of micro current that is almost undetectable. These "micro-currents" attempt to mimic the body's own natural electrical functions. "Patients with treatment-resistant head and neck muscle pain, TMJ joint pain, headaches and migraine headaches have shown significant elevations in plasma serotonin." University of Miami's School of Medicine quotes, "Increases in cerebrospinal fluid level of beta-endorphins up to 219%, plasma endorphins up to 98%, and cerebrospinal fluid serotonin up to 200% have been demonstrated in normal volunteers receiving 20 minutes of Alpha Stim Therapy." All of these improvements in head and neck muscle pain, TMJ joint pain, headaches, migraine headaches and brain chemistry may be necessary for treatment and relief from these conditions.
