Many possibilities: I agree with Dr. Grin's answer. Another area of great importance to chronic headaches is TMJ dysfunction. You don't have to have symptoms such as popping or clicking for a problem to exist. The problem is when the muscles are having to adapt to a bite imbalance, thus pulling the TMJ out of place. The constant constriction of the muscles causes headaches. Bruxism; clenching or grinding contributes.
