A note on Dulwich patients
Dulwich life runs to a particular rhythm: the school run past Dulwich College, Alleyn's School and James Allen's Girls' School, early-morning laps of Dulwich Park, swims at Brockwell Lido and quiet afternoons at Dulwich Picture Gallery. School runs, commutes and busy working days are common among local parents, teachers and NHS staff. If jaw pain, clenching or headaches are part of your day too, your care starts with an assessment of your jaw, neck and nervous system together.

Meet Krina — a note on Dulwich patients
How Krina works with Dulwich patients
For patients from Dulwich, Krina assesses the jaw as part of a wider picture. Every first appointment is a full assessment of the jaw, neck and nervous system together. If your tinnitus seems to change when you clench or turn your head, Krina assesses whether there is a somatic, jaw- or neck-related component. She refers on to ENT, a dentist or neurology when something needs another specialist. From there, you agree clear goals together and review them at each visit. Treatment is built on published research, and Krina tells you plainly what each option can and cannot do. Technology such as NESA neuromodulation, low-level laser, dry needling or TMJ Velvet radiofrequency & diathermy is added where the evidence supports it, always within your assessed plan. Every appointment is one-to-one with Krina.
