What We Treat: Headache, Neck, Jaw & Dizziness Treatment Ballina Locals Trust

We’re not a general headache clinic close to Ballina. We’re a dedicated centre focused exclusively on diagnosing and resolving the hidden causes of:

  • Balance Problems & Dizziness: Experiencing unsteadiness, vertigo, or a floating sensation? We help manage symptoms with targeted dizziness treatment for Ballina residents.
  • Hormonal Headaches: Struggling with monthly headaches that flare before or during your period? We provide tailored support for hormone-related patterns, often resistant to painkillers.
  • Cervicogenic Headaches: Some headaches stem from hidden dysfunctions in the neck. We help identify and treat this connection to ease pain that starts at the back of the skull and moves forward.
  • Cluster Headaches: Sharp, intense pain around one eye, often occurring in short bursts? These attacks can be disruptive, and we help manage them with a precise and personalised approach.
  • Stress & Posture-Related Headaches: Tension headaches often feel like a tight band across the head and may worsen with poor posture, long desk work, or anxiety. We work on addressing the mechanical and muscular factors that contribute to them.
  • Sinus Headaches: When facial pressure and congestion trigger persistent head pain, we offer strategies to alleviate discomfort associated with sinus inflammation.
  • Migraines: Pulsating pain, sensitivity to light or sound, nausea, and visual disturbances are all hallmark symptoms of migraines. Our migraine clinic near Ballina takes a hands-on, research-backed approach for lasting relief.
  • TMJ & Jaw Pain: Clicking, clenching, or discomfort in your jaw? Whether it affects your sleep, chewing, or speech, our TMJ physiotherapy helps Ballina patients manage jaw tightness and dysfunction linked to grinding or structural imbalances.

I came to Michael’s clinic after trying so many different approaches for my daily headaches and migraines. His is the first that’s actually worked. The frequency, severity, and duration of my migraines have improved so much, and for the first time I feel hopeful they’ll eventually stop altogether. Highly recommend!

My experience here was awesome. Michael is a super knowledgeable guy that helped me with my neck that I had compressed on my surfboard. I was getting constant headaches and with four visits he got rid of them by moving my neck into place. If you’re getting constant headaches I highly recommend!

Michael has made an amazing difference to my ongoing neck injury. After 5 appointments my neck is just about 100%. After trying many other treatments with no success Michael has made a massive difference.
I highly recommend.
