Headaches, TMJ & Craniofacial Pain: Why Dentists and PTs Must Work Together

Discover how dentists and physical therapists together offer better relief from headaches, jaw pain, and facial dysfunction through collaborative care.

For patients suffering from chronic headaches, TMJ dysfunction, and craniofacial pain, treatment can feel like a revolving door—splints, Botox, injections, PT, medications—without long-term relief. Why? Because these conditions are rarely solved by a single profession.

For over 20 years, I’ve studied under Dr. Mariano Rocabado in Chile, whose pioneering work highlights the connection between the airway, cervical spine, and mandible. His method reveals why posture, head position, and airway-driven clenching are often the missing links in craniofacial pain.

That’s why this November, I’m teaching a two-day workshop in Chicago designed for dentists and physical therapists together.

What you’ll learn:

  • The cervical–mandibular relationship and its role in headaches
  • How posture and airway alter mandible position
  • Craniofacial manual therapy techniques from the Rocabado system
  • How to collaborate across professions for truly lasting results

👥 Dentists—bring your PT. PTs—bring your dentist.
Together, we can provide patients with more complete, lasting care.
