Happy woman outdoors after finding natural relief from chronic headaches

Gold Coast

Headaches, neck stiffness, or jaw pain can disrupt daily life. At Bangalow Headache Neck & Jaw Clinic, we regularly treat patients who visit our headache clinic from the Gold Coast. Some drive down from Southport, while others come from coastal suburbs like Broadbeach, Burleigh Heads and Robina, all seeking targeted, evidence-based care.

Many of our patients from the Gold Coast come to us after months or even years of discomfort. In a calm and welcoming environment, we provide hands-on treatment aimed at uncovering and addressing the true cause of your symptoms. Whether you live among the leafy streets of Ashmore or near the sandy beaches of Mermaid Waters, we can help you feel more like yourself again.

Safe, effective, fast & natural treatment

Qualified Headache & TMJ Physio Gold Coast Patients Rely On

Led by Michael Hayward, a physiotherapist with over 34 years of clinical experience, we deliver care backed by advanced research and training. He brings expert knowledge in biomechanics and neurology, understanding how they influence head, neck, and jaw pain to offer accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Michael has trained with global leaders such as Dr Dean Watson and Professor Mariano Rocabado, offering effective headache treatments to Gold Coast locals. Our team is committed to providing tailored care, treating every case with detail, precision, and respect.

Headache Clinic Gold Coast Locals Trust with a 100% Natural Approach

Forget the quick fixes and one-size-fits-all programs. Our approach is calm, hands-on, and based on careful diagnosis. With sustained, light pressure on key points of the neck or jaw, our headache and neck pain physio helps Gold Coast clients reduce irritation in the sensitised brainstem. We aim to improve mechanical function without spinal manipulation, medication, or injections.

Most patients start to feel progress within four to five sessions. If not, we reassess to ensure you receive the most effective care with clear progress.

Positive Client Reviews

Dedicated to helping our clients achieve long-lasting relief, learn about our headache and migraine clinic from our Gold Coast patients:

I was referred to Michael due to jaw pain, but had also been experiencing headaches and migraines most of my life. At worst, I would have multiple episodes in a week and pain relief didn’t make a real difference. Since my first visit, I haven’t had a headache or a migraine, and my jaw pain has also significantly decreased – I’ve not needed to take paracetamol or ibuprofen in weeks, which is unheard of for me.

I never looked into treatment for my headaches or migraines because I assumed it just wouldn’t work for me, but now I’m kicking myself for not finding Michael sooner! It’s a very comfortable environment, and there are genuine differences after each appointment. I’m so grateful for this clinic and would highly recommend giving it a go, you’ll be amazed at the results.

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.
