Happy woman outdoors after finding natural relief from chronic headaches

Banora Point

If you’re facing headaches, jaw pain, neck tension, or dizziness, you’re familiar that they don’t take a day off. And neither should your access to proper care. Clients from Banora Point make the drive to Bangalow Headache Neck & Jaw Clinic, around 50–55 minutes via the Pacific Motorway, because they’re after something they haven’t found closer to home: answers and lasting relief.

However your pain shows up, after a long day or in the middle of the night, our headache clinic near Banora Point and Banora Boulevard offers a natural, evidence-based way to resolve it rather than simply manage it.

Safe, effective, fast & natural treatment

Pain We Assess and Treat for Banora Point Patients

If headaches, jaw issues or dizziness are getting in the way of work, rest or family time, you need care that looks beyond the surface. Our migraine clinic serving patients from Banora Point provides drug-free, hands-on treatment built on decades of clinical experience.

Conditions we help with include:

  • Dizziness: Vertigo, balance problems, or persistent light-headedness. We identify and treat the underlying cause, not just the sensation.
  • Menstrual Headaches: Hormone-related headaches that arrive before or during your cycle, assessed and treated with targeted care.
  • Cervicogenic Headaches: Neck pain that refers upward into the head, often misdiagnosed and under-treated by practitioners unfamiliar with what to look for.
  • Cluster Headaches: Intense, short-lived headaches concentrated around one eye, often with redness or watering.
  • Tension Headaches: That pressing or tightening feeling around the head, usually worsened by stress, posture, or sustained screen time.
  • Sinus Headaches: Dull facial pressure and throbbing; linked to sinus inflammation or infection.
  • Migraines: One-sided, pulsing head pain often manifests with nausea, light sensitivity, and fatigue.
  • Jaw Pain & TMJ Dysfunction: Clicking, locking, grinding (bruxism), or aching in the jaw that affects eating, talking, or sleeping.

If you’ve worked through other approaches without lasting results, our headache and migraine clinic near Banora Point may uncover what’s behind your symptoms.

The Physio Banora Point Patients Travel to See

Lead physiotherapist Michael Hayward has over 34 years of clinical experience treating headaches, neck, jaw, and vestibular-related (inner ear) conditions. He trained under internationally recognised leaders in the field, such as Dr Dean Watson, Professor Mariano Rocabado, and Mark Latimer. 

Our treatments employ the Watson Headache® approach, a precise, evidence-based method that targets the biomechanical causes most practitioners miss. Whether you’re dealing with chronic migraines, a jaw that clicks and aches, or dizziness that’s hard to explain, you’re in experienced hands with someone who has treated these conditions for decades.

A Gentle, Drug-Free Approach to Real Relief

Our treatments avoid cracking, injections and unnecessary medications. We use gentle, sustained pressure on specific points in the head, neck, or jaw to help reduce brainstem sensitivity and correct the mechanical faults at the root of your condition. 

It’s a careful, considered process. It’s safe and targeted, built around long-term outcomes instead of short-term patches.

What Banora Point Patients Can Expect: Progress You Can Measure

Most patients notice meaningful improvement within the first four to five sessions. We don’t lock you into extended treatment plans unless you’re seeing real, tangible change. If progress isn’t clear by sessions four or five, we reassess and help you work out the best path forward.

With multiple 5-star Google reviews, patients from across the Tweed and Northern Rivers region, including those travelling from the canal estates and residential streets of Banora Point, consistently report lasting reductions in pain frequency and severity, often after years of trying other approaches.

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.
