What is the relationship between jaw tension and headaches?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many headaches are caused by muscle tension in the jaw, neck and head<\/strong>This could be caused by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2714 Teeth grinding (bruxism):<\/strong> unconscious clenching of the jaw, especially at night
\u2714 Stress:<\/strong> increased tension in the jaw muscles
\u2714 An incorrect jaw position:<\/strong> overload of the jaw joint
\u2714 Bad posture:<\/strong> tension in neck and shoulder muscles that extends to the jaw<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tension can lead to tension headaches, pain when sleeping and a feeling of pressure around the temples and eyes. Jaw physiotherapy not only addresses the symptoms, but also treats the cause of the headache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which headache complaints does jaw physiotherapy treat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jaw physiotherapy can help with various types of headaches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tension headache<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This type of headache feels like a band of pressure around the head and is often caused by muscle tension in the neck, jaw and shoulders. Jaw physiotherapy helps by reducing this tension and relaxing the muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headache due to jaw problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jaw problems such as teeth grinding or jaw joint complaints can cause pain around the temples and ears. Jaw physiotherapy focuses on improving the mobility and relaxation of the jaw muscles to reduce the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headache due to jaw tension and stress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Long-term tension in the jaw muscles due to stress can cause headaches. Jaw physiotherapy uses relaxation techniques, exercises and advice to reduce the symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2714 Exercises: Specific exercises to relax the jaw muscles and improve function
    \u2714 Posture advice: corrections in posture and movement patterns to prevent further complaints<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Many people experience fewer headaches after just a few treatments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
