Head, Neck & TMJ pain
Muscle tension is a very common cause of headaches. In fact, approximately 90% of headaches occur because of it. Known as Bruxism, adults will involuntarily clench and grind their teeth throughout the night and is a primary cause of headaches, Neck & Jaw pain. The muscles are interrelated and is why there is a strong connection. Quite often, dental orthotics that make small changes to the jaw and the bite could just be enough to reduce and even alleviate the pain. However, we often see that a common cause of grinding is an airway, sleep or bit problem which may need to be addressed.

Diagnosis of head, neck and TMJ pain?
TMJ is not always the root cause of all head and neck pain. We will always recommend a through examination with our dentists to assess your history, conduct a cranial exam (3D CBCT scan), postural exam, oral exam, occlusal analysis, muscle palpations and neurological exam. If a sleeping disorder is identified by our doctors then we will conduct a full sleep study to asses whether it is contributing rot your head, neck and TMJ pain.
How we Treat your head, neck and TMJ pain
Orthodontic therapy is a common treatment for achieving an ideal bite, which includes the use of both day and night splints. If a nasal obstruction is identified through CBCT imaging, we may recommend a referral to an ENT specialist. Other treatments that can help alleviate pain include dry needling, trigger point injections, laser therapy, and autologous blood concentrates (such as stem cells or concentrated growth factors).
We will design personalised splints to improve your jaw function, support proper breathing, and reduce compression, aiding in the healing of your jaw joint. This process is similar to healing a fractured jaw. Many of our patients report significant pain relief after just a few days, though treatment may take up to 12 months for full results.
You don’t have to live with day-to-day pain. By following our post-treatment management instructions, we’ll help ensure that your head, neck, and TMJ pain does not return.

Treatments include dental orthotics (splints), orthodontic therapy, dry needling, trigger point injections, laser therapy, and sometimes referrals to specialists like ENTs if an airway issue is identified. We tailor treatments to each patient's needs to ensure the best results.
