The poor posture behind your jaw pain and day-long migraines

Recently a patient came complaining of severe migraines accompanied with vomiting and nausea early in the morning and frequent episodes of day-long migraine for the last 10 years. The symptoms are made worse when chewing gum and tinnitus (ringing in the ear) is associated with the pain.

My impression was 'Text Neck' causing cervicogenic headache (neck-headaches). I guided my client through my treatment plan that would entail a referral to a neurologist if symptoms persisted. From this case I gathered that the jaw pain is usual a consequence of neck pain that then causes migraines. Chewing gum affects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)- at the jaw that is responsible for migraines just as well as the neck.
