Happy woman outdoors after finding natural relief from chronic headaches

Tweed Heads

Chronic headaches, jaw pain, neck tension or persistent dizziness can drain the enjoyment from everyday life, whether you’re walking along the Tweed River foreshore, popping into Coolangatta or just getting through a normal workday. Clients from Tweed Heads make the drive to Bangalow Headache Neck & Jaw Clinic, around 45–50 minutes via the Pacific Motorway, because they want real answers rather than another temporary fix.

If you’ve been putting up with migraines, unexplained dizziness, jaw clicking or neck pain for longer than you should have to, our headache clinic near Tweed Heads offers a natural, evidence-based approach to lasting change.

Conditions We Assess and Treat for Tweed Heads Patients

When pain disrupts your sleep, concentration or time with family, you need more than a short-term fix. Our migraine clinic serving Tweed Heads provides drug-free, hands-on care built on decades of clinical experience. We help people across the Tweed and Northern Rivers region with a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Dizziness: Vertigo, imbalance, or unexplained light-headedness affecting your daily routine. We offer dizziness treatment that targets the underlying cause.
  • Menstrual Headaches: Targeted support for hormone-related headaches that flare up around your cycle.
  • Cervicogenic Headaches: Neck pain that refers upward into the head, often misdiagnosed and undertreated elsewhere.
  • Cluster Headaches: Brief but severe headaches focused around one eye, often with redness or tearing.
  • Tension Headaches: That familiar pressing or tightening sensation around the head, made worse by stress or poor posture.
  • Sinus Headaches: Dull facial pressure and throbbing, typically linked to sinus inflammation or infection.
  • Migraines: One-sided, pulsing head pain often paired with nausea, light sensitivity, and fatigue.
  • Jaw Pain & TMJ Dysfunction: Jaw issues, like clicking, locking, grinding, or bruxism, that affect eating, talking, and sleeping.

If previous treatments haven’t provided lasting relief, our headache and migraine clinic near Tweed Heads may help identify the root cause of your symptoms.

The Physio Tweed Heads Patients Travel to See

Lead physiotherapist Michael Hayward has over 34 years of clinical experience in treating headaches, neck, jaw, and vestibular-related (inner ear) conditions. He trained under globally recognised leaders in the field, including Dr Dean Watson, Professor Mariano Rocabado, and Mark Latimer, and employs the Watson Headache® approach: a precise, evidence-based method designed to address the biomechanical causes that often go undetected.

Wherever you’re travelling from, whether Tweed Heads South, Banora Point or Kingscliff, you’ll be working with someone whose experience runs deep enough to find the real source of your pain.

A Gentle, Drug-Free Approach to Lasting Relief

There’s no spinal cracking, no injections, no medications. Our treatment uses gentle, sustained pressure applied to specific points in the head, neck, or jaw, reducing brainstem sensitivity and correcting the mechanical issues at the root of your condition. It’s a careful, methodical process aimed squarely at long-term relief rather than short-term management.

What to Expect from Your First Few Sessions

Most patients notice meaningful improvement within four to five sessions. We won’t ask you to commit to an extended treatment plan unless you’re seeing real, tangible progress. If things aren’t tracking in the right direction by sessions four or five, we reassess and help you work out the best path forward.

With a strong record of 5-star Google reviews, our patients consistently report lasting reductions in pain frequency and severity, many of them after years of trying other approaches without relief.

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.
