Symptoms We Treat
Explore the conditions we assess and how our treatment options relate to your symptoms.
Migraine & headache treatment in Auckland
When migraine attacks or recurring headaches keep interrupting work, family life and the things you enjoy, you want more than another temporary change. We assess cranial, facial, jaw and upper-neck relationships and use our findings to guide care.
Explore our migraine & headache approachPersistent symptoms after concussion
Head pressure, headaches, eye discomfort, light sensitivity, brain fog or a change in breathing can remain long after the original injury. Our Auckland diagnosis considers cranial and facial relationships, jaw function, eye tracking and the neck, with treatment directed at the findings relevant to you.
Explore persistent post-concussion symptomsBlocked nasal breathing & sinus pressure
A blocked nose, sinus pressure or mouth breathing can affect your comfort throughout the day and night. We examine nasal airflow alongside the surrounding facial structures and discuss NasalRX Procedure where our findings suggest it may be suitable, including when symptoms remain after previous treatment or surgery.

Jaw pain, clicking, restricted movement or an uneven bite can make everyday life uncomfortable. We assess jaw symmetry and movement alongside the wider facial and cranial relationships. Care may combine hands-on TMJ treatment with the NasalRX Procedure protocol, according to our findings.

How Our Treatment Approach Differs
Bring details of the headaches, jaw discomfort, breathing changes or post-injury symptoms you would like us to consider. Previous treatment results help us focus the examination and explain the next steps relevant to you.
Your findings and proposed care are discussed before you choose treatment. Our central approach page explains the clinical model used in both locations.
Read our clinical approachAdvanced Craniocervical & NasalRX Treatment in Auckland
Our approach goes beyond examining symptoms alone. We assess cranial, facial, jaw and upper-neck structures to identify mechanical restrictions that could be contributing to persistent discomfort and dysfunction.
NasalRX is our distinctive endonasal treatment procedure, using multiple controlled balloon inflations within selected nasal passages. Treatment can also include targeted cranial, facial and cervical work, together with biomechanical adjustments elsewhere in the body when indicated.
Following your examination, we explain the findings, recommend an appropriate treatment plan and review your progress throughout care.
