Headaches/TMJ Treatment in Kingsford, MI

Living with headaches or jaw pain can make everyday activities a struggle. Simple tasks, such as reading, working on your computer, or even talking and eating, may cause discomfort or worsen your symptoms. At Back in Motion, we offer headaches/TMJ treatment in Kingsford because we understand how disruptive headaches and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction can be. Our team is trained to identify the underlying causes of your pain and develop a personalized plan to help reduce symptoms and restore function.

Understanding Headaches

Headaches can arise from a variety of sources, which can make them difficult to treat effectively. Some of the most common types include:

Migraine headaches – often associated with throbbing pain, light sensitivity, or nausea

Tension-type headaches – typically caused by tight muscles in the neck and shoulders

Cervicogenic headaches – stemming from issues with the joints or muscles of the neck

Research shows that many people experience a combination of headache types rather than just one. That’s why a careful, individualized assessment is essential. Our clinicians use a combination of evaluation techniques to pinpoint the source of your headaches so we can provide personalized headache treatment specific to your needs.

Patients with headaches related to neck or upper spine issues often notice significant relief with targeted manual therapy, stretching, and exercises designed to improve neck and spinal mobility. While each patient’s response varies, even a few focused treatments can make a meaningful difference in daily comfort and function.

Understanding TMJ Dysfunction

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull, allowing you to speak, chew, and yawn. TMJ dysfunction is a common source of non-dental pain in the head, face, and neck. Symptoms may include jaw stiffness, popping or clicking, ear discomfort, and tension headaches.

Because TMJ issues are often overlooked, a thorough manual examination is important to determine whether the joint or surrounding muscles are contributing to your pain. Identifying the source allows our clinicians to develop a treatment plan that addresses the root of your symptoms.

How We Treat Headaches & TMJ

Our approach to headache/TMJ treatments in Kingsford combines hands-on techniques with movement-based therapies to help restore function and reduce discomfort:

Manual Therapy

Gentle joint mobilizations and soft tissue work to improve mobility and reduce tension

Targeted Exercises

Posture & Movement Guidance

At Back in Motion, we believe in personalized care for our patients’ needs. While some notice improvements quickly, others may benefit from a longer course of care to achieve lasting results.
