Chronic headaches and TMJ disorders can devastate quality of life, leaving sufferers feeling hopeless as medical treatments provide only temporary relief. At Simply Physio in Knoxville, Tennessee, we’ve developed specialized expertise in treating these complex conditions through advanced physical therapy techniques that address root causes rather than masking symptoms.
Our success with headache and TMJ patients has established Simply Physio as Knoxville’s premier destination for people seeking natural, lasting solutions to these debilitating conditions. Dr. John-Mark Chesney’s Board Certification in Orthopedic Physical Therapy, combined with advanced manual therapy training, enables breakthrough results for patients who’ve struggled with chronic head and neck pain for years.
Understanding the TMJ-Headache Connection
Temporomandibular joint disorders and chronic headaches often share common underlying factors: muscle tension, postural dysfunction, and movement compensations that create ongoing stress throughout the head and neck region. Traditional medical approaches typically treat these as separate conditions, missing the interconnected nature of the problem.
At Simply Physio, our comprehensive evaluation identifies the complex relationships between jaw function, neck mobility, postural alignment, and muscle tension patterns. This systems approach enables targeted intervention that addresses multiple contributing factors simultaneously.
Our Physical Therapy in Knoxville approach targets the root causes: restricted joint mobility, muscle trigger points, postural compensations, and movement patterns that create ongoing stress on sensitive structures.
J Q. experienced this root-cause approach: “I am so grateful for Stephen. I came in thinking surgery on my neck was my only option. He doesn’t sugar coat anything, tells it like it is, pushes you when you need it, and genuinely cares. Because of that I avoided surgery! A lifesaver! It’s hard to put into words how thankful I am for his help.”
Specialization That Makes the Difference
Our expertise in treating people age 45 and above proves particularly relevant for headache and TMJ patients, as these conditions often develop or worsen due to cumulative workplace stresses, postural adaptations, and age-related changes in tissue flexibility.
We understand how workplace ergonomics, stress patterns, and lifestyle factors contribute to these conditions, enabling comprehensive treatment that addresses both immediate symptoms and long-term prevention strategies.
Shawn K. describes the lasting impact: “Stephen has helped me more than I ever expected. I have tried at least a dozen physical therapist over the last 20 years Stephen is the first that actually made an improvement in my pain. I’ve only been with Stephen for a month and already see sustained improvement. Usually physical therapy’s help wears off before I get out of the parking lot, so having steady progress that lasts is amazing.”
