Cutting Edge Research

And Treatment Applications

To help you reduce ...

• the severity of your TMJ headache

• the duration of your TMJ headache

• the frequency of your TMJ headache

TMJ Headache : Acute Jaw Pain Extending Into The Temples

Does this sound like you ?

• Dull/aching headache at temples or around the ear

• Jaw joint/masseter tenderness on palpation

• Clicking/popping, deviation, limited opening or locking

• Pain worsened by chewing, yawning, talking, clenching

• Morning headaches linked to bruxism/tooth wear

• Ear symptoms (fullness, tinnitus) ± facial/neck muscle tightness

Getting To The Root Cause Of Your TMJ Headache

Cervical Spine Assessment

Assessing the jaw and cervical spine is essential to identify cervicogenic contributors, muscle tension, joint dysfunction, and nerve irritation that amplify TMJ headache pathways, guiding therapy and rehabilitation.

Symptoms Assessment

We systematically assess the frequency, severity, and duration of your TMJ headaches, alongside triggers and impact on daily function, during your tailored TMJ discovery consultation.

What's In A Discovery Consultation ?

Lifestyle Assessment

Lifestyle assessment maps sleep, stress, diet, hydration, caffeine, alcohol, hormones, activity, screen-time and routines, revealing triggers and patterns to tailor interventions, support adherence, prevent relapse.

Neurological Assessment

A focused neurological assessment identifies red flags, localises dysfunction, evaluates cranial nerves, balance, reflexes, sensation and eye movements, clarifying diagnosis, excluding pathology, and tailoring treatment.

Brain Scan

Brain imaging isn’t routine; it’s reserved for red flags or atypical features to exclude secondary causes—tumour, haemorrhage, structural lesions—guide urgent referrals, and provide diagnostic reassurance.

Blood Chemistry Analysis

Blood chemistry clarifies hidden drivers—anaemia, thyroid dysfunction, glucose instability, inflammation, electrolyte imbalance, liver/kidney issues, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies—informing treatment, reducing triggers, and guiding personalisation.

Targeted Treatments

Provide a general summary of the services you provide, highlighting key features and benefits for potential clients.

Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial osteopathy uses gentle, precise techniques to ease strain in cranial sutures, dural membranes and cervical tissues that can sensitise triggers for TMJ headache pathways. By improving cranial rhythmic motion, venous and lymphatic drainage, and autonomic balance, it may reduce headache intensity and frequency, relieve neck/jaw tension, enhance sleep, and complement vestibular and lifestyle interventions. Comfortable, suitable alongside medical care.

Brain Based Nutrition

Optimal nutrition helps calm TMJ headache prone brains by stabilising blood glucose, reducing neuroinflammation, and supporting mitochondrial energy. Priorities include regular protein-rich meals; hydration and electrolytes; Identifying food triggers (e.g., alcohol, excess caffeine, histamine/tyramine foods) and correcting gut issues improve signalling along the gut–brain axis—enhancing resilience, lowering attack frequency, and aiding recovery.

Nutritional and Herbal Medicine

Targeted nutritional and herbal medicines can reduce TMJ headache frequency, duration and severity by correcting nutrient deficiencies, calming neuroinflammation, stabilising blood sugar, supporting mitochondrial energy, modulating neurotransmitters, regulating hormones, improving sleep, restoring gut function, and boosting stress resilience to prevent triggers and support long-term brain stability.

Brain Based Rehab

Brain-based rehabilitation reduces TMJ headache frequency, duration and severity by retraining neural networks, improving vestibular and oculomotor control, enhancing sensory integration, regulating autonomic tone, and strengthening cortical inhibition. Custom exercises build neuroplasticity, stabilise triggers, improve balance, vision and resilience, supporting relief.

Sleep Management

Sleep management is essential in TMJ headache care. Poor sleep destabilises brain chemistry, lowers pain threshold and drives inflammation. Restoring consistent, high-quality sleep regulates hormones, calms the nervous system, improves recovery, and helps reduce migraine frequency, duration and severity over time.

Stress Management

Stress management is critical in TMJ headache treatment. Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which disrupts sleep, blood sugar, inflammation and vascular tone, all of which lower the brain’s pain threshold. Reducing cortisol through relaxation, breathwork and lifestyle stability helps cut headache frequency, duration and severity.
