Millions of Americans suffer from chronic headaches, migraines, facial pain, and head tension that interfere with work, sleep, family life, and overall well-being. For many, the search for relief can feel endless. They may have seen multiple providers, tried various medications, and undergone numerous treatments—yet their headaches continue.
At Columbia Center for Sleep Apnea and TMJ, Dr. Jared Bloxham takes a different approach.
Serving patients throughout the Tri-Cities—including Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco—as well as communities across Eastern Washington, Dr. Bloxham helps individuals uncover potential causes of chronic and undiagnosed headaches while providing innovative treatment options designed to deliver lasting relief.
When Headaches Remain a Mystery
Many headache sufferers are told that their symptoms are simply stress-related, tension-based, or something they will have to live with. However, headaches can have a variety of underlying causes that often go undetected.
Factors that may contribute to chronic headaches include:
- Muscle tension and trigger points
- TMJ disorders (temporomandibular joint dysfunction)
- Teeth grinding and clenching
- Sleep-related issues
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Medication side effects
- Hormonal imbalances
- Inflammatory conditions
- Airway and breathing concerns
Identifying these contributing factors is often the first step toward meaningful, long-term improvement.
A Comprehensive Diagnostic Approach
What sets Dr. Jared Bloxham apart is his commitment to looking beyond symptoms and investigating potential root causes.
At Columbia Center for Sleep Apnea and TMJ, patients may receive a thorough evaluation that can include:
Medication Review
Certain medications can contribute to headaches or interact with other health conditions in unexpected ways. A careful review of current medications can help identify possible factors affecting symptom patterns.
Laboratory Testing Referrals
In some cases, nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, hormone imbalances, or other systemic health concerns may be contributing to chronic headaches. Appropriate lab work can provide valuable insight and help guide treatment decisions.
TMJ and Muscular Assessment
The jaw joints, facial muscles, neck muscles, and surrounding structures often play a significant role in headache development. Dr. Bloxham's expertise in TMJ disorders allows him to evaluate these commonly overlooked contributors.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Because every patient is different, treatment recommendations are customized to address individual findings and symptom patterns rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Advanced Headache Relief Options
Once contributing factors have been identified, Dr. Bloxham offers several advanced treatment options designed to reduce pain, relax overactive muscles, and improve quality of life.
Xeomin® and Daxxify® Injections
For some patients, excessive muscle activity in the head, face, jaw, and neck can contribute to chronic headaches and tension.
Xeomin® and Daxxify® are neuromodulator treatments that help relax targeted muscles, potentially reducing headache frequency, intensity, and muscle-related discomfort. These treatments can be especially beneficial for patients experiencing headaches associated with jaw clenching, muscle tension, or TMJ dysfunction.
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger points are tight, sensitive knots within muscles that can refer pain throughout the head, face, jaw, neck, and shoulders.
Trigger point injections are designed to release these painful muscle areas and help reduce chronic tension patterns that may be contributing to persistent headaches. Many patients experience significant improvement in both pain levels and overall function following treatment.
