Adelaide Jaw Physiotherapy Highgate

About Us

At Adelaide Jaw Physiotherapy Highgate, we specialise in the treatment of jaw, neck, and musculoskeletal conditions — with a particular focus on the often misunderstood and frustrating world of jaw pain. Our team brings decades of experience and a genuine passion for helping people move and feel better.

We understand how debilitating conditions like jaw clicking, clenching, and headaches can be. That’s why we offer individualised care in a calm, supportive space. Our approach is simple: listen carefully, explain clearly, and treat effectively. We work with people of all ages, from teenagers with sports injuries to seniors managing joint and muscle issues.

We’re led by two highly experienced physiotherapists — Andrew Clarkson and Mark Mitchell — who each bring unique expertise in complex conditions, dry needling, chronic pain, and post-surgical care. If you’re struggling with jaw issues, headaches, or pain that just won’t shift, you’re in good hands.

Services

We offer tailored physiotherapy treatments to help relieve pain, restore movement, and improve your everyday comfort:

• TMJ & Jaw Therapy
  Specialised care for jaw joint pain, clicking, locking, clenching, and related symptoms like headaches. We treat both the joint and surrounding muscles.

• Headache & Neck Treatment
  Many headaches come from the neck. We identify the source and treat it using hands-on techniques and education.

• Dry Needling
  Targeted needling helps release tight muscles, improve blood flow, and reduce pain — especially helpful for jaw and neck tension.

• Rehabilitation for Sports & Surgery
  From knee reconstructions to shoulder rehab, we help you regain strength and function, with a focus on long-term recovery.

• Chronic Pain Management
  For pain that’s been around too long, we take a fresh look. Our team offers support for complex, compensable, and hard-to-treat cases.

• Lower Limb Care
  We address foot and ankle problems and offer orthotic assessments to improve how you walk and move.
