TMJ 'dysfunction' - Health implications

I started getting migraines in my late twenties. I'd get them every few months or so, and they were manageable, but as the years progressed they were getting worse and worse to the point where I was getting them around once a week. It was such a nightmare as I had to carry on working through them, and I'd be in pain for around 48 hours.

Then, while sitting on the tube, I picked up the Evening Standard and saw an article written by Bella Freud about how a dental appliance had cured her migraines. She had visited Dr Amir at his dental surgery in Putney, and he had explained to her that moving her teeth to a more symmetrical position would help her because if the jaw is out of alignment with the skull, the body misaligns to compensate, which can create all kinds of medical problems, including migraines.

This made perfect sense to me, and I arranged to see him. It was the best decision I made regarding my migraines. My treatment is still ongoing, but I hardly get migraines. It was a life-changing decision for me to go and visit him - I can't believe I used to get migraines every week!

Challenging the existing standards in dental and medical care comes with significant costs. Through my website and this forum, I have highlighted practices that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, contribute to ongoing illness. This disruption is not welcomed by the authorities overseeing our healthcare system. To continue publishing evidence-based articles, sharing discoveries from my own patients' experiences that have led to their recoveries through a unique approach, and educating thousands of health professionals and patients globally, we require some support.
