Over 12% of North Americans suffer from migraine every year. Has chronic head pain reached epidemic proportions? A large group of chronic head pain patients have eluded all convention medical treatments because over 80% of pain conditions in the head and neck area actually have some component that involve the oral cavity and the jaw. Until recently, there has not been a way to properly and systematically assess this complex condition. A breakthrough technique is recently introduced. By combining technologically advanced assessment tools from both medicine and dentistry all the injured structure are identified. Dentists, with their basic medical training, and extensive knowledge in the head and neck area are the best choice to carry out these assessments and procedures. Since 1 in 5 people in the general public will have suffered one or more of these pain conditions in the past year, the assessment and treatment we talk about here will be essential to you or someone you know.
