Jaw Pain & Dizziness Physiotherapy

Clear assessment. Targeted treatment. No guesswork.

Jaw pain and dizziness are two common conditions we see in clinic. While they can occasionally coexist, they are assessed and treated as separate clinical problems, each with its own causes, examination process, and treatment approach.

At Head2Toe, our focus is on accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and practical management plans tailored to your presentation.

Jaw Pain Physiotherapy (TMJ)

Assessment and treatment of jaw-related pain and dysfunction

Jaw pain (often referred to as TMJ dysfunction) can affect eating, speaking, sleeping, and concentration. Symptoms may fluctuate and are often worsened by stress, prolonged postures, or overuse.

Common jaw-related symptoms

Jaw pain or ache around the ear or cheek
Clicking, clunking, or locking of the jaw
Pain with chewing, yawning, or talking
Jaw stiffness or reduced opening
Headaches linked to jaw or temple tension
Facial or ear-region discomfort with normal ear exams

Common contributors

Jaw joint irritation or overload
Muscle tension or imbalance
Clenching or grinding (bruxism)
Prolonged desk or forward head posture
Stress-related muscle guarding

How we treat jaw pain

Management is based on your assessment and may include:

Jaw joint and muscle treatment (when appropriate)
Upper cervical spine assessment and treatment
Education on jaw loading and habits
Targeted jaw and neck exercises
Strategies to reduce clenching and overuse

Our goal is to reduce pain, restore normal jaw movement, and prevent recurrence.

Dizziness Physiotherapy

Assessment and treatment of balance and vestibular conditions

Dizziness can be unsettling and disruptive. Physiotherapy plays an important role in managing many non-cardiac, non-neurological causes of dizziness and balance problems.
