pcshealer,
Do you stare at a computer screen for long periods at work? Sometimes, maintaining the same neck position can cause muscle spasms that interfere with blood flow. There are some things you can do to alleviate positional or postural issues. You might look into some desk exercises. Regarding the psychosomatic comment by your neuro, I got somatoform disorder entered into my medical record. It is the KISS OF DEATH. After that diagnosis or even off-hand comment, every doctor after will dismiss you. I believe we need an avenue to legally protest a somatoform diagnosis. Regarding the TMJ issue, dentists are a very expensive form of treatment. A good physical therapist who knows how to go in your mouth and release the spasming muscles will likely give you better relief. Been there, done that. Wasted hundreds of dollars. There are some physicians who know how to inject Botox into the jaw muscles to lessen the spasms that cause many of the problems. Be careful about sleeping on that side of your face. Some people even sleep with a hand under their jaw. It causes problems. My wife used to sleep with her right hand under her right jaw. A maxilofacial surgeon could tell by how it effected her TMJ and muscles.

Hi Everwilde,
I'm happy to say I found an upper cervical chiropractor who thinks he can help me. He's in my insurance plan too! I had my first treatment yesterday after a thorough exam and x-rays the day before. Just like you said, he took precise measurements of my head and did a few little taps with his instrument. I am feeling a little better and am hopeful that he will be able to solve the problems with headaches and dizziness. Thanks again for this information. Don Quote:
