Persistent Headaches, Jaw & Neck Tension, or Ongoing Fatigue?

Specialist Chiropractic Care in Edinburgh

Focussed, low-force care for people living with chronic head, jaw and neck pain

  • A serious head injury left me in a really bad state: headaches, jaw pain, neck stiffness and sensitivity to noise and light meant that I couldn’t do the simplest tasks.

    It’s hard to summarise just how much of a difference Paul has made to my daily life and functioning. Within a few sessions my headaches have finally subsided, and the lack of pain / sensitivity allows me to feel like myself again.

    Highly, highly recommended — you couldn’t put yourself in better hands!”

When Headaches, Jaw or Neck Symptoms Start Affecting Your Life

Most people who come here aren’t looking for a quick fix.

They’ve usually tried to manage things already.

Physio. Massage. Dental input. Medication. Standard chiropractic care.

Sometimes it helped. Often it didn’t last.

Meanwhile, life adapts around your symptoms.

  • You work around bad days.
  • You manage energy carefully.
  • You avoid triggers where possible.
  • You push through when you have to.

From the outside, everything may look fine.

Internally, it’s more of a struggle than people realise. 

Whether it’s persistent headaches, jaw tension, neck stiffness or brain fog, the common thread is this:

It keeps coming back.

Why Head & Neck Symptoms Keep Returning

Your head, jaw and neck are closely connected.

They share joints, muscles and nerves that respond together under stress, posture and load. When these areas are under sustained strain, they become more sensitive and easier to trigger.

When that sensitivity builds:

  • Tension builds quickly and lingers
  • Pressure accumulates around the jaw or base of the skull
  • Symptoms flare with stress, screens or fatigue
  • Your body struggles to properly relax

This doesn’t mean something serious is being missed.

It often means the pattern driving the symptoms hasn’t been properly identified.

When that pattern changes, symptoms change too.

Why previous treatment may not have helped

Many people have already tried something before coming here.

If care focuses only on the most painful area, or treats headaches, jaw pain or fatigue in isolation, improvement is often temporary.

When symptoms overlap – headaches with neck tension, jaw clenching with facial pressure, fatigue with body pain – they often need to be assessed together.

That’s the difference a specialist neck and cranial chiropractic approach can make.

What to expect

Your first appointment is designed to give you clarity and practical next steps on your road to recovery.

Most people who arrive here have already tried to deal with their symptoms. They’re not looking for another quick fix. They want to understand why things keep returning, and whether there’s a way out of the cycle they’ve been stuck in.

Initial consultation

We start by talking things through properly. That means taking time to understand what you’re experiencing, how your symptoms build or flare, what you’ve already tried, and what your body has been dealing with day to day.

Assessment looks at how your head, neck and body are functioning under stress, how much tension or sensitivity is present, and how much this could be contributing to the pain you’ve been living with.

Clear explanation

You’ll be given a clear, honest explanation of what’s been found and how it may connect to what you’re feeling. For many people, this is the first time their symptoms have been explained in a way that actually fits their experience.

From there, we talk about how this approach might help your symptoms ease and allow you to get back to doing more of what pain has been limiting.

Thoughtful, individual care

If you decide to go ahead, treatment can usually begin at your first appointment. Care is gentle, precise and adapted to how your body responds.

Most people leave the first appointment feeling clearer, more reassured, and with a sense that there is a realistic way forward, even if things haven’t responded to other approaches before.

Is this a good fit for you?

This clinic is for people who value careful assessment, clear reasoning and a specialist approach – particularly when symptoms feel persistent or confusing.

It is not designed for instant fixes or for the treatment of diagnosed systemic disease. Where appropriate, referral is advised.
