Richard Goldman
MOST SEVERE HEADACHES ARE NOT MIGRAINE
Most headache experts agree that the majority of head pain is caused by muscle contraction not by migraine but are treated as such. In his book "TMJ Syndrome: The Overlooked Diagnosis", author, Dr. A. Richard Goldman explains that muscle contraction pain often mimics migraine severity. Most muscle contraction headaches are the body's response to a gearing problem between the teeth and the jaw hinge, a problem named TMJ Syndrome. Contact info:
