Migraines are very complex inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system. They are not just simply another type of headache. Headaches are just one of many signs and symptoms that can affect those who suffer migraines.

• They are the 2nd most common neurologic disorder in the world
• 83% of people who suffer migraines also suffer tension headaches
• 75% of people who suffer migraines are women, usually of child-bearing age
• Hormones play a significant role in migraines
• 80% experience low back pain, higher than the general population
• 86% experience neck pain, tight muscles and stiff neck joints
• More than 78% experience jaw (TMJ) pain, which increases to 91% with chronic migraine
• 50% experience insomnia or poor sleep quality
• 84% suffer sinus pressure, 82% sinus pain, 63% nasal congestion, and 47% a runny nose (rhinorrhoea)

Feeling dizzy can be unsettling — it can interrupt your focus, make you cautious about movement, and leave you unsure of what’s causing it. Dizziness and vertigo are surprisingly common, affecting up to one in three people at some point in their lives.

“Dizziness” is a broad term that can describe lightheadedness, a false sense of spinning (vertigo), a feeling of imbalance (disequilibrium), or the sensation of almost fainting (presyncope). Each has different causes because they involve distinct nerves, muscles, and areas of the brain.

Contributing factors can include neck or jaw tension, inner ear disturbances, stress, poor posture, medication effects, or circulatory changes. Because these causes often overlap, it’s important to look at the whole picture rather than treating the symptom alone.

At our clinic, we take an evidence-informed, whole-body approach to understanding what’s driving your dizziness. By identifying underlying contributors, we aim to help you feel steadier, more in control, and more confident in your daily life.

Neck pain is one of the most common and limiting health challenges worldwide, affecting around 2.5 million Australians every year and impacting women more often than men. In fact, it’s considered among the leading causes of disability across the globe — and for many people, it can make everyday activities more difficult and reduce overall quality of life.

Despite how common it is, neck pain is often managed only at the surface level. Medications may ease the discomfort for a while, but they rarely address the deeper factors that cause pain to persist.

At our clinic, we take a whole-body, evidence-informed approach to care. By looking beyond symptoms to understand the underlying contributors — from posture and tension to lifestyle and stress — we help people move more freely, rest more easily, and feel more comfortable in their day-to-day lives.

Your jaw works hard every day — helping you speak, eat, and express yourself. The two small joints connecting your jaw to your skull, known as the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), are among the most complex in the body. When these joints — or the surrounding muscles — become strained or imbalanced, they can cause pain, stiffness, or clicking in the jaw, sometimes radiating into the head, neck, or face.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are surprisingly common, ranking as the second most frequent chronic pain condition worldwide, after low back pain. Around 10% of women and 3% of men experience TMD, most often between the ages of 18 and 44.

TMD can be linked to a range of contributing factors, including:

• Jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism)
• Jaw or dental misalignment
• Stress and emotional tension
• Migraines or tension headaches
• Whiplash or neck injury
• Heightened sensitivity to pain

Because so many different systems influence the jaw, effective care involves looking at the whole picture — not just the joint itself. At our clinic, we take an integrated, evidence-informed approach to help ease discomfort, restore natural movement, and support long-term comfort in both your jaw and surrounding areas.
