When head pain does not match the scan - New Headache Migraine Treatment Auckland Christchurch
Many people are told their headaches are "sinus", "tension", or "migraine". Sometimes the label fits, sometimes it does not. What is frustrating is when you follow the plan and nothing changes.
Head pain is often driven by multiple overlapping systems:
Nasal restriction and poor airflow
Mouth breathing and sleep fragmentation
Jaw tension and clenching
Neck tension and cranial-facial compensation
If you treat only one piece, the pattern can continue.
Why "sinus headache" is often not infection
It is common to feel pressure in the face, behind the eyes, or across the forehead and assume it is sinus infection. But many people have:
Facial pressure with no infection
Normal scans
Symptoms that fluctuate with posture, sleep and stress
This is where a functional, structural assessment can be valuable. The goal is not to override medical diagnosis. The goal is to identify whether airway mechanics and cranial-facial tension are amplifying the headache pattern.
The jaw, neck and airway triangle
A common pattern is:
Nasal restriction leads to mouth breathing
Mouth breathing disrupts sleep and increases clenching
Clenching drives temple and facial tension
Neck tension increases and headache sensitivity rises
This can show up as headaches that feel like sinus pressure, but behave like a functional loop.
How NasalRX can help a headache pattern
NasalRX is designed to support nasal airflow and reduce structural drivers that keep the system reactive. When the pattern fits, people often report:
Less facial heaviness
Improved ability to breathe through the nose at night
Better sleep quality, which reduces headache frequency
Less jaw tension and less "pressure" sensations
We do not claim to cure migraines. We do not claim all headaches are structural. We offer an approach that can reduce major amplifiers in people who match the pattern.
Who this page is for
You may be a good candidate for assessment if you have:
"Sinus headaches" but no infection
Headaches plus chronic blocked nose or mouth breathing
Waking headaches or headaches linked to poor sleep
Migraines plus TMJ or jaw clenching
Facial pressure that shifts with breathing or posture
What to do alongside structural work
Headache patterns often improve faster when you support:
Hydration and electrolytes
Consistent sleep timing
Reduced mouth breathing and improved nasal hygiene
Jaw relaxation habits and posture awareness
Trigger awareness, without obsessing over triggers
