Integrated Treatment Options for TMJD and Headaches

Buccal & Intra-Oral Massage 

Deep tissue treatment to the neck, shoulders, scalp, and facial muscles can also include specialized intra-oral massage techniques to release tension and reduce TMJ pain. 

Osteopathic Therapy

Osteopathy treatments for headache may include joint mobilizations, soft-tissue release techniques, intra-oral myofascial release, and craniosacral. 

Acupuncture 

Traditional acupuncture offers holistic pain relief for chronic headaches and migraine, and facial acupuncture with gua sha offers a direct approach to treating TMJD and relaxing tense muscles around the jaw. 

Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic massage can reduce inflammation around the jaw, neck, and other upper body lymph nodes, to relieve sinus pressure and tension headaches. 

Cupping Therapy

This specialized treatment uses silicone cups to increase local circulation and reduce trigger points in the neck and shoulders, which are common headache triggers.  

Chiropractic

Functional assessment of TMJD dysfunction and adjustments to the jaw and cervical spine can help relieve headaches, jaw pain, and migraine.  

Hassle-Free Direct Billing

Available on most benefits plans

Our healthcare services are eligible for coverage on most major benefits plans, which can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. We'll gladly submit your claim to your insurer if they allow direct billing, and can collect directly from most plans too, so you can focus on your recovery instead of reimbursement.

Book Online & Same-Day

Evening appointments available

Headaches can be unpredictable.

Our Practitioners are available from early until late, so you can get relief from TMJ pain when you need it the most -- or whenever a migraine strikes.

Same-day, walk-in and emergency appointments are welcome.

Convenient Clinic Location

Steps from public transit and parking.

Anatomica is a storefront clinic located on Bloor Street West, near the corner of Lansdowne Avenue. We're located just a half block from the subway station and Green P parking, so you can more easily plan your visit for TMJ treatment, no matter how you travel.

Anatomica is an awesome one-stop-shop! I have been going here for years for massage, chiro, physio and Alexander technique. Every practitioner I've worked with has been friendly, professional and knowledgable. I definitely recommend this clinic to all my friends in the West End!

Had a great assessment and session with Dr. Jeff Belgue today.  Very useful online booking software that enabled me to provide all historical notes leading up to the session. Jeff had read all of the notes ahead of the session, asked a few clarifying questions and then took me through a range of tests. It was a great visit and Jeff has a strong background in kinesiology, biomechanics and treatment / care. Thank you for helping with my back pain!

I have been a regular client for a few years and have only had positive experiences here. The practitioners are skilled and professional and the admin is helpful. Highly recommend their services!
