At Southern Spine & Sport, we specialize in treating headaches and orofacial pain to help you find relief and improve your quality of life. Our team is dedicated to providing personalized care, utilizing advanced techniques and evidence-based therapies to address the underlying causes of your pain.
Whether you’re experiencing tension headaches, migraines, or jaw pain, our comprehensive approach ensures that you receive the best possible care for your unique needs.
Physical therapy can help with headache and orofacial pain by addressing underlying musculoskeletal issues and improving overall function. Techniques such as manual therapy, posture correction, and exercise can reduce muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and alleviate pain.
Physical therapists also provide education on stress management and ergonomic adjustments to prevent future episodes. Temporomandibular joint Dysfunction (TMD) is treatable in Physical Therapy and can relieve TMJ pain by normalizing joint mechanics, reducing inflammation, and addressing trigger points through manual therapy, dry needling, and joint mobilizations.
Although physical therapy might not be the first treatment option that comes to mind for headache sufferers, it can be highly effective. Many patients struggle to identify the root cause of their headaches, but a licensed physical therapist can help by reviewing your health history and assessing your posture, strength, pain points, and range of motion.
Similar to TMJ pain, orofacial pain encompasses a variety of diagnosis but most often is reported as generalized pain in the face. Dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint and the muscles of mastication can produce symptoms both locally and along documented referral patterns in the facial region. Additionally, degeneration of the cervical spine and strain of the surrounding musculature can produce referred pain in the jaw, face and head.
