Orofacial Pain Therapy

Our orofacial pain practitioner, Raelene Clark, specialises in diagnosing and treating TMD and related facial pain conditions. Using a blend of manual therapies, exercises, and targeted interventions, she addresses jaw dysfunction, muscle tension, and associated headaches.

Understanding Orofacial Pain

Orofacial pain encompasses a variety of conditions affecting the face, jaw, and related structures. These disorders can significantly impact daily activities such as eating, speaking, and sleeping. Our approach focuses on identifying the underlying causes of pain and developing tailored treatment plans to address each patient's unique needs.

• Headaches and Migraines
