Neurological and Ophthalmology Tests

Different neurological diseases, including epilepsy, could be the cause of your

headache, and eye and vision problems could also trigger a severe headache.

Therefore, your doctor conducts tests to determine existence of any of these
diseases and resultant headaches.

Skeletal Tests

Normally, all headaches are due to imbalances of skeletal and neuromuscular
muscles. A headache might be dependent on placement and positioning of your

jaw, skull and neck bones. Any dislocation or wrong shape and positioning could
cause severe headaches.

There are more than 300 muscles attaching your jaws, neck, and skull. 298 of

these muscles do the work of closing your lower jaw to fit in well within the skull.
A normal human uses the lower jaw more than 5,000 times each day. Therefore,

any abnormal compression, malalignment or dysfunction in the muscles around
these organs can cause headaches.
