Chronic headaches and jaw (TMJ) dysfunction can impact everything — from focus at work to enjoying meals and sleep. At AA Clinics, our multidisciplinary team (osteopaths, physiotherapists, and speech therapists when needed) addresses the root causes of pain through personalized treatment, not just symptom relief.
Headaches & TMJ Dysfunction Treatment at AA Clinics
What Are Headaches & TMJ Dysfunction?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull. Dysfunction in this area can cause:
Frequent headaches or migraines
Jaw clicking or locking
Pain when chewing or talking
Ear pain, dizziness, or pressure around the face and temples
These issues are often linked to muscle tension, posture, stress, or injury, and respond well to conservative treatment.
What Speech Therapy Helps With
Our team uses a holistic approach to treat both symptoms and causes:
Osteopathy: gentle manual therapy to release jaw, neck, and cranial tension.
Physiotherapy: exercises to correct posture, strengthen jaw and neck muscles, and improve mobility.
Speech Therapy (when needed): techniques for safe jaw movement, voice strain reduction, and swallowing issues.
Lifestyle guidance: stress management, ergonomic tips, and self-care strategies.
