Jaw pain and headaches are often the same problem, not two.
The jaw joint sits next to muscles that also drive tension headaches and neck stiffness, so pain in one area often shows up in another. Clicking, a jaw that catches, or pain chewing on one side is usually a coordination and loading problem in that joint and its muscles, not a structural one.
Clenching and grinding get blamed for most of it, and they are part of the picture, but rarely the whole story. Neck posture and how the jaw muscles work through the day matter just as much.
What an assessment looks at:
- How the jaw opens, closes and tracks
- The muscles around the jaw, temples and neck
- Posture and habits that load the joint through the day
- A plan of manual therapy and specific jaw exercises
A night guard protects your teeth from grinding. It does not retrain the muscles and joint driving the pain, which is where physiotherapy and chiropractic care come in.
No referral needed. Direct insurance billing where your plan allows.
Been told to ‘slow down’ after 60?
Strength doesn’t have to disappear with age. It just needs the right kind of training.
Our Seniors Strength & Mobility class meets every Wednesday from 10 to 11 AM, built around real strength, better balance and lasting independence, not just ‘staying active.’

Why am I so stiff getting out of bed? Three common reasons from the rehabilitation team at Propel Active in Burlington.
Most people write it off as age. Usually it isn’t.
Save this for the next morning you feel it, and send it to the person who tells you they’re stiff every single day.
Our Kinesiologist, Ryann David breaks it down:
1. You’re not moving enough. If you sit 8-10 hours a day and your body gets very good at sitting.
2. You’re losing strength — stiffness isn’t only a flexibility issue. When muscles can’t support the joint, movement feels restricted.
3. You’re not recovering well. Poor sleep, dehydration and stress leave muscles tight and achy, even on days you didn’t train.
Stiffness is a signal, not a sentence. Targeted exercise and assisted stretching improve mobility, flexibility and how well you actually move. That’s exactly what Ryann does with our clients.
Feeling it right now? DM us or call (905)333-5665, and we’ll get you booked in with our team.

Your hips are talking to you. That stiffness after a long day of sitting? That’s not just “getting older” — it’s a mobility problem with a fix.
Save this and share it with someone who needs to get up and move.
Ryann, our Kinesiologist at Propel, put together a quick routine that targets exactly what hours at a desk does to your hips. Three moves. No equipment. You can do this in your living room tonight.
Watch the reel, do the work, feel the difference.
Questions about your hip mobility or where to start? DM us or call the clinic — Ryann would love to help you move better.

That jaw click you’ve been ignoring? It’s worth a second look.
💾 Save this post and share it with anyone who wakes up with jaw soreness, headaches they can’t explain, or a click that’s just become background noise.
Jaw clicking. Morning tightness. Temple headaches that don’t respond to Advil. These aren’t just annoying. They’re signs your jaw joint, surrounding muscles, or neck is under load it can’t handle.
Here’s the part most people, and many clinics, miss: the jaw and upper neck are functionally connected. Tension in the jaw muscles often creates tension in the upper neck, which drives headaches and neck pain. It works both ways too. Neck tension can affect the jaw just as easily. This is why treating the jaw alone so often produces only partial results.
At Propel Active, we always assess and treat both.
Our TMJ care includes physiotherapy, chiropractic, and registered massage therapy under one roof. That includes intraoral massage to release deep jaw muscles most therapists never reach, Class 4 laser therapy (one of the most effective tools in acute TMJ care, backed by a 2025 review of 44 clinical trials), and direct dental co-management when your case needs it.
Most patients see real improvement within the first four weeks. No referral needed. Direct insurance billing.
If you’ve been managing jaw pain instead of resolving it, DM us or call 905-333-5665. We’ll figure out where to start.

Warning: this lumbar support pillow is actually making your back pain worse. Here’s why a chiropractor would never recommend it.
I’m Dr. Alison Lejkowski, a chiropractor with 15+ years treating lower back pain. Over the last three weeks I’ve shared the couch-only pick, the overall winner, and the best desk chair option. This is the final one — and it’s the reason I started this series.
The Poksri has a sloped shape that actively encourages your lower back to round outward when you sit on a firm chair. That’s the exact posture we’re trying to get away from. Rounded lower back under load means more disc pressure, less muscular support, and over time — more pain, not less.
At under $30 it looks like a bargain. It isn’t. Saving $15 on a pillow that works against your spine isn’t a saving — it’s a cost.
Here’s the full picture after testing all four:
🏆 Best overall — Everlasting Comfort
💺 Best for desk chairs — Travel Ease
🛋️ Best for the couch — Niceeday
❌ Skip entirely — Poksri
And one thing I want to be clear about before you order any of these: a lumbar support pillow is not a treatment for back pain. If you’re dealing with persistent or chronic lower back pain, a pillow alone won’t fix it. Movement, strengthening, and hands-on care are part of a real recovery plan. A good lumbar support helps you maintain better posture while sitting — think of it as a support tool, not a solution.
If you’re unsure which pillow is right for your situation, or you want help figuring out what’s actually causing your lower back pain — that’s exactly what we do at Propel Active. Full review with specs, pros, cons, and a complete side-by-side comparison of all 4 pillows is on the blog. Link in bio.
