Throbbing at the Base of Your Skull? Jaw Tension When You Chew or Talk? Headaches That Just Won’t Go Away? We Can Help.

A woman sitting at a desk, holding her forehead with one hand and her glasses in the other, appearing stressed or worried.

At Metro Wellness, we treat headaches, migraines, jaw pain (TMJ), and neck-related tension with a natural, whole-body approach. Whether your symptoms are from stress, posture, or jaw clenching, we don’t just dull the pain—we treat the source.

Our licensed team of chiropractors, physical therapists, and acupuncturists works together to reduce tension, improve alignment, and restore calm to your nervous system. We use chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, acupuncture, medical massage (by PTs), cupping, IASTM (muscle scraping), and kinesiotaping to bring lasting relief—without medication or side effects.
