Oftentimes, headaches, neck pain, and jaw problems all occur together, though not always. What research does show is that all people with TMD have some sort of problems in the neck as well that influence the jaw pain. Physical therapists are expertly trained to address all these parts of the body to maximize healing. Not only have our physical therapists undergone extra training to effectively diagnose and treat headaches, neck pain, and TMD, these are some of our favorite problems to treat! There are simple and effective strategies we implement to help you feel better than you thought you could. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/b3ae4d9e-8e87-42ff-929b-b1b9c6a8fb84/back-pain-and-sciatica-treatment-physical-therapy.jpg All Services - Back pain & Sciatica If you’re reading this, it is likely that you’ve experienced, or are currently experiencing back pain. Research shows that 75-80% of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives. This is why we love helping people with back pain! We have witnessed people overcome months, years, and decades of back pain- to each person’s amazement. Imaging results and family history are not your destiny; there is ALWAYS something you can do to get your back feeling and moving better. A less commonly discussed factor with back pain, though one just as debilitating as the pain itself, is the fear of movement that comes with chronic back pain. We will help you work through this fear so that you can confidently get back to the activities you love. For life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/2f854994-8757-4f73-8307-807d9b4c0362/strength-training-physical-therapy.jpg All Services - Strength training The number one way to age well and maximize longevity is to have solid muscle strength. Being strong can solve so many of your problems and improve overall health. Research shows that strong people have a 25% less chance of dying prematurely of any cause. Especially for women in peri or post-menopause, strength training becomes even more crucial for promoting health, bone density, and muscle mass. It also reduces the risk of soft-tissue injuries that become more prevalent with the drop in estrogen. We will help you develop a customized strength training program, or optimize one that you already have. We also partner with FabYOUlous Fitness, a boutique training studio for women, to connect our female clients with an outstanding, one-of-a-kind fitness community.

Think of us as your personal Sherlock Holmes for your body. We figure out what the problem is, explain it to you so you have full understanding, and help you feel and move better. Whether you are an active adult, were active in a former life but have “let yourself go”, think it is time to start living a healthier life, or have done ALL. THE. THINGS. but haven’t gotten the results you know deep down are possible, you can find your home here at Empower Physio and Wellness. We are here to guide you. If you’re at the end of your rope and don’t have much hope left that you could feel better, I’m speaking directly to you when I say, “There is ALWAYS something you can do to feel better.” We see it every day. Whether you’ve been told to never run again, don’t twist or lift more than 20 pounds, or that there’s nothing left to be done, I’m here to tell you that this isn’t the end of the road. Take a detour and let us help you. We treat the body from head to toe. Here are some of our favorites: Headaches and migraine Jaw/TMJ pain and TMD Neck and shoulder pain Back and hip pain Sciatica Running and exercise-related injuries Chronic compensations Persistent pain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/ec78f7c3-3b84-43c7-9a20-46983e64a89c/dry-needling-physical-therapy-for-muscle-pain.jpg Home - Dry Needling, Cupping, & Body Work We love some good body work here at Empower Physio and Wellness! It is a great way to start getting your body moving and feeling better. Dry needling is one of our most sought-after treatments. We use a thin needle inserted into a muscle to help the muscle and nervous system relax. Think of it as the deepest deep-tissue massage you can get. It is one of the most efficient and effective ways to treat muscular pain and tightness. Does the thought of needles make you want to pass out? Not to worry, we have you covered! We have a whole host of body work strategies that are just as effective. Cupping is one that we love to help you feel and move better while reducing feelings of pain and tightness. Dry needling and cupping can help almost any condition, but here are some common ones we use it for: Headaches and migraine Neck and shoulder pain or tightness Back and hip pain or tightness Sciatica Muscle and joint pain or tightness Nerve injuries or impingement Running and exercise-related injuries Thoracic outlet syndrome Persistent pain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/aeee1f39-90ad-480d-a6cf-b0c34b2e09b5/physical-therapy-strength-training-menopause.jpg Home - Strength training Regardless of your age, gender, or athletic ability, strength training is so important for overall health, resilience, bone density, mental health, and longevity. Studies show that strong people have a 25% lower chance of premature death of any cause. So let’s get you strong! Strength training is an important part of our clients’ plans. This is what solidifies all the body work and movement retraining we do at the start of the plan. We will design a super accessible, customized strength program for you that fits your needs and lifestyle. For women in peri-menopause or post-menopause, strength training is even more important. The drop in estrogen makes soft tissue injury more common and also requires increased strength training to gain and maintain muscle mass. We are here to help you navigate these changes in your body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/7ba6608e-a58a-4d02-a83c-fa882fb81cbf/Balanced+Living+Functional+Medicine+logo Home - Dr. Emily Roedersheimer, DO, IFMCP Balanced Living Functional Medicine “I absolutely love referring clients to Empower Physio and Wellness because the team there is focused on the whole person - not just one body part.

It is one of the most efficient and effective ways to treat muscular pain and tightness. What is dry needling? For dry needling treatment, we use a thin monofilament needle inserted into the muscle to help the muscle and nervous system relax. Think of it as the deepest deep-tissue massage you can get. Most people stand up from a dry needling treatment and immediately feel better. This is one of the reasons we love it! To learn more about dry needling, check out our blog post Dry Needling 101. How does dry needling work? Dry needling works on both the local tissue and the nervous system. Locally, the needle is a stimulus to help tight muscles relax. When muscles relax, they have less pain and tension and can contract more efficiently. It also improves blood flow and reduces inflammation, both of which promote healing. On the nervous system level, dry needling helps calm the nervous system to get it out of the fight or flight, protection mode. When the brain and nerves relate to the target body area better, you can move better with less pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/deaedee6-2b15-4bb6-a93b-a59496ae7003/cupping-treatment-westerville-ohio.jpg Dry Needling, Cupping, & Body Work - Cupping and other body work Does the thought of needles make you want to pass out? Not to worry, we have you covered! We have a whole host of body work strategies that are just as effective. Cupping is one that we love to help you feel and move better while reducing feelings of pain and tightness. Cupping provides a distraction, or suction, force to the muscle and fascia and can help you quickly improve mobility and reduce pain. We love to get you moving with the cups on to make the treatment even more effective. We also do “scraping” (a form of Graston treatment), trigger point release, myofascial release, and joint mobilizations. All of these treatments accomplish the same goal of helping you move and feel better with less pain. You and your physical therapist can decide which modalities are best for you. https://www.empowerphysioandwellness.com/headaches-neck-pain-tmj-pain daily 0.75 2025-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/e9674b4d-c583-47c9-9345-5f716eb4552e/1.png Headaches, Neck Pain, & TMJ Pain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/6e89baf2-18fa-45e9-93bf-65eb0a28c69c/2.png Headaches, Neck Pain, & TMJ Pain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/eb123c28-3456-4b89-bba5-f2468fd62ce6/3.png Headaches, Neck Pain, & TMJ Pain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/b80b3075-c3cb-4119-a456-fda8354c8532/4.png Headaches, Neck Pain, & TMJ Pain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/2da08b6c-f256-4980-a4c9-9047e6fdc929/headache-relief-physical-therapy-treatment.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/6dc3d839-1501-482f-be9f-0415a4aca5f1/neck-pain-and-tension-relief-with-dry-needling.jpg Headaches, Neck Pain, & TMJ Pain - Headaches There are many different types of headaches and it is possible to experience multiple kinds of headaches at the same time. Some of them, such as tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches, actually originate from muscles and joints in the neck. Cervicogenic headaches involve pain on one side of the head. They typically start at the base of the skull and wrap up around the ear to the front of the head or behind the eye. Pain can also be felt in the neck and shoulder on the same side. Sustained posture and neck movement can exacerbate cervicogenic headaches. Tension headaches can be experienced as pain or tightness originating in the neck or base of the skull, sometimes wrapping up the back and top of the head to the forehead. Tension headaches can also include pain or tightness in the eyes, ears, jaw, and teeth. Some people describe tension headaches as a vice wrapping around the head. Sustained posture, repetitive upper body activity, and stress can exacerbate tension headaches. For both cervicogenic and tension headaches, what you need is treatment directed to your neck to help your headaches. It is possible to cure or vastly improve your headaches with physical therapy treatment. We can also help with migraine. Although we may not be able to eliminate all migraine symptoms, many of our clients with migraine and other mixed type headaches notice a good deal of improvement! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/ab388086-5343-4b1e-8c26-91577e312845/neck-pain-and-headache-exercises.jpg Headaches, Neck Pain, & TMJ Pain - Neck pain Neck pain is one of the most common things we treat here at Empower Physio and Wellness. Our physical therapists have also had personal experiences with neck pain, so it is near and dear to our hearts and we love treating it! Neck pain has many causes, including posture, stress, and overhead lifting. Neck problems can also be related to shoulder pain, pain or muscle tightness around the shoulder blade, and pain, numbness, or tingling down the arm. All of these symptoms respond so well to physical therapy care targeted to the neck! Oftentimes, people have had imaging that shows changes in the discs or joints of the neck. This usually brings up a lot of fear about “making the damage worse” or how things could progress and leave you in the same strugglesome situation you see your parents endure. Research shows that imaging has a very poor correlation with how you feel physically. Thousands of people with no pain have the same kinds of imaging findings you may have received. What is the underlying issue then? The underlying issues are MOVEMENT and INFLAMMATION problems! It is important to note that these things cannot be identified on an image or fixed with surgery. What does work for neck pain? Improving your mobility, increasing overall health of your tissues, building muscle strength, and moving better. The neck is oftentimes an underlying factor in headaches and TMD (temporomandibular disorders, aka jaw pain) and must be treated to effectively improve head and jaw pain. Within our holistic model of care, we identify the underlying cause(s) to help get your neck moving and feeling so much better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/fcdbe0fd-96e4-4e25-bd7b-2343e2f89c49/jaw-pain-TMD-physical-therapy-treatment.jpg Headaches, Neck Pain, & TMJ Pain - Jaw pain and TMD (temporomandibular disorders) We can help with all kinds of jaw related problems like clenching, grinding, popping, clicking, locking, pain, and tightness. The jaw is a joint surrounded by muscles, just like any other joint in the body, and responds very well to physical therapy care. Even if you use a night guard for clenching and grinding, we can help you reduce your clenching and grinding and provide relief to the muscles so you don’t wake up so sore in the morning. Research shows that all people with TMD have problems in the neck that influence the jaw. Simply treating your neck can help your jaw feel better! We are expertly trained to address all these parts of the body to maximize healing. We understand that receiving treatment to your jaw can be a vulnerable thing. We will help you feel safe and supported at each and every visit. https://www.empowerphysioandwellness.com/back-pain-sciatica daily 0.75 2025-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/e9674b4d-c583-47c9-9345-5f716eb4552e/1.png Back Pain & Sciatica https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/6e89baf2-18fa-45e9-93bf-65eb0a28c69c/2.png Back Pain & Sciatica https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/eb123c28-3456-4b89-bba5-f2468fd62ce6/3.png Back Pain & Sciatica https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/b80b3075-c3cb-4119-a456-fda8354c8532/4.png Back Pain & Sciatica https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/dc3b17a7-05ae-463c-95dc-dc47558d0882/back-pain-and-sciatica-treatment-physical-therapy.jpg Back Pain & Sciatica - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.empowerphysioandwellness.com/strength-training daily 0.75 2025-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/e9674b4d-c583-47c9-9345-5f716eb4552e/1.png Strength Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/6e89baf2-18fa-45e9-93bf-65eb0a28c69c/2.png Strength Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/eb123c28-3456-4b89-bba5-f2468fd62ce6/3.png Strength Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/b80b3075-c3cb-4119-a456-fda8354c8532/4.png Strength Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ffe91f367ca469ccf38ea3/90f15ec4-0301-474a-958b-fef47e78336f/strength-training-exercises-physical-therapy.jpg Strength Training - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.empowerphysioandwellness.com/terms-and-conditions daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://www.empowerphysioandwellness.com/disclaimer daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://www.empowerphysioandwellness.com/hiring daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://www.empowerphysioandwellness.com/favefivethankyou daily 0.75 2025-04-30 https://www.empowerphysioandwellness.com/error daily 0.75 2026-03-29 https://www.empowerphysioandwellness.com/events-and-resources daily 0.75 2026-03-25 https://www.empowerphysioandwellness.com/thank-you-contact-form-submission daily 0.75 2026-03-18
