Headaches are one of the most common reasons people search for a chiropractor, and one of the most frequently mismanaged. Most people default to painkillers, a dark room, and waiting it out, without ever finding out why the headaches keep coming back. At Saanichton Chiropractic Group, we see headache and migraine patients every week, and in a large share of cases the trigger is not hiding in the brain at all. It is sitting in the joints and muscles of the neck and upper back.

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD) — commonly referred to as TMJ — is one of the most underdiagnosed sources of chronic jaw pain, headaches, and facial discomfort. Millions of people in North America live with clicking or locking jaws, morning headaches from teeth grinding, and difficulty chewing — often without realizing that the jaw joint and its surrounding muscles are the source, or that chiropractic care is an effective treatment option.
