Are you one of the many Calgarians who dread the warm Chinooks winds? Does the word Chinook mean migraine in your vocabulary? Unfortunately, the studies on whether (ha) this is true or not are very inconclusive. But while many of the causes of migraines are not well understood there are some that we know are real and treatable.
One of the most common causes of headaches and migraines is bruxism. What is that you ask? Well, bruxism is the tight clenching of your jaw or the grinding (side to side/front to back) of your teeth. To understand how severe this can be take and clench your fist as hard as you can. Now, hold that for 6 hours. Impossible you say. That’s what is happening to your jaw, neck, head and shoulder muscles if you grind or clench in your sleep. Think that might be a cause of your headaches?
