Headaches, TMJ & Lower Back Pain

Headaches and lower back pain are more than just discomforts—they can interfere with your focus, mood, sleep, and ability to enjoy life. At CW Physio’s, we understand that these symptoms often stem from deeper issues such as poor posture, muscle overuse, or spinal dysfunction—and we’re here to help you find lasting relief.

Understanding the Root Cause

Common causes of headaches and lower back pain include:

• Poor sitting or working posture
• Trauma or injury
• Cervical spine stiffness
• Jaw (TMJ) dysfunction
• Muscle imbalances or tightness

Our physiotherapists look beyond the symptoms to assess your posture, movement patterns, and muscle function. We then develop a tailored plan to relieve pain and prevent recurrence.

Effective Physiotherapy Treatments Include:

• Massage & Myofascial Release – Targets muscle tension and promotes relaxation.
• Joint Mobilisation & Manipulation – Restores range of motion and alignment in the spine and neck.
• Dry Needling – Relieves muscle knots and improves blood flow.
• Electrotherapy – Reduces pain and inflammation.
• Posture Correction & Rehabilitation – Improves ergonomics to prevent flare-ups.

Special Focus: TMJ Dysfunction, a hidden source of headaches and jaw pain.

The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is a small but vital hinge connecting your jaw to your skull. Dysfunction in this joint can trigger symptoms like:

• Clicking or popping when chewing
• Difficulty opening the mouth
• Facial or jaw pain
• Tension headaches
• Neck stiffness

At CW Physio’s, we offer specialised treatment for TMJ disorders, combining:

• Jaw & neck myofascial release
• Postural retraining
• Spinal mobilisation
• Targeted dry needling

This integrated approach helps reduce muscle tension, restore movement, and relieve pain.

Long-Term Relief Starts Here

Medication may offer temporary comfort, but physiotherapy addresses the root cause of your pain. Whether you’re struggling with stress-induced headaches, poor desk posture, or jaw dysfunction, our team is ready to support your recovery.
