TreatmentCenter.co.uk news Chronic Pain and Headache May be Alleviated by Dentistry Aug 16, 2006 If you’re suffering from chronic pain or headaches, neuromuscular dentistry may be the answer. Learn about the symptoms of neuromuscular disorders and what dentistry can do to alleviate them. Source: http:/ (PRWEB) August 16, 2006 -- Do you have headaches, migraines, or neck and shoulder pain, jaw pain, ringing in your ears, or clicking in the jaw? Many of us have one or more of these symptoms but we simply live with the discomfort – from mild to severe – because physicians are often unable to locate a physical cause. Now however, with the most recent remedial advancements, many people are seeking a “neuromuscular dentist” as a potential solution for face, neck, back and head pain. Here are the reasons why: According to the LVI Global, a world-renowned institute for advanced dental studies, headache and other related pain symptoms are often attributed to TMD or temporomandibular disorder, commonly referred to as TMJ. One of the most common TMD disorders is malocclusion, otherwise known as a “bad bite”. Malocclusion occurs when your upper and lower teeth do not close together in the correct way, such as an underbite, or overbite. When teeth are misaligned, they cannot provide the muscle support needed for chewing and swallowing. These facial muscles are then forced into a strained position, resulting in pain throughout the face, head, arms, shoulders, and back. Although a person may have beautiful teeth or had orthodontics to line the teeth up for aesthetic reasons, the muscles and joints may not be comfortable. Neuromuscular treatment explained It may surprise you to know that the majority of people in North America suffer a greater or lesser degree from TMD, and that but it is relatively easy to correct. First the neuromuscular dentist determines the optimal position of the jaw by measuring the relaxed position of the head and neck muscles, and then repositions the jaw to achieve those exact measurements. Treatment options include adjusting the bite, orthotics, orthodontics, or restoring the teeth to their correct positions.
