Headache, Migraine & TMJ Relief Englewood
Softer, more effective relief for head pain, jaw stress, and the tension that accompanies both
Headaches and pain in the jaw can be two different problems, but they quite often have a common denominator. Whether you have chronic migraines, tension headaches, or TMJ dysfunction, the pain can interfere with everything from your ability to concentrate to the quality of your sleep or eating. At BodyMechanics in Englewood, we don’t ignore these symptoms and do a whole-body treatment addressing the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Understanding the Connection Between Head, Jaw & Neck Pain
The head, jaw, and neck are intricately linked by muscular, joint, and nerve connections. If there’s tension or dysfunction in one spot—such as the jaw—it tends to set off a domino effect that translates to pain in another location, such as the temples, back of the head, or behind the eyes.
Typical culprits behind these problems are:
- Jaw clenching or grinding teeth (usually stress-induced)
- Poor posture or prolonged screen time
- Tight neck or shoulder muscles
- Misalignment in the spine or jaw joint
- History of trauma or whiplash
That’s why our team looks at the full picture when assessing headache or TMJ-related pain.
