Did you know that any of the following Symptoms & Conditions can be caused by TMD (TMJ dysfunction)?

  • Pain, clicking, popping, or pressure in the jaw joint

NEWLY DISCOVERED TMD RELATED SYMPTOMS

  • Less room for wisdom teeth, crowded teeth, and malocclusion (possibly from undergrowth and under development of upper & lower jaws)

Our Findings:

A body out of alignment can cause pain and overall body dysfunction.

Even more amazing is that it is just now becoming understood that there are many other associated lesser-known whole body conditions that we never thought had anything to do with TMD but have very far reaching effects on our bodies, mental/emotional and spiritual health.

Before Treatment

  • If the jaw or bite is off, the hips will be unlevel.

  • Improper jaw position can cause nerve signaling interferences to multiple systems throughout the body.

  • Patients may experience one or more pain symptom(s).

The above image illustrates a few of the possible pain location(s) when the hips, shoulders, base of skull and jaw are unlevel. People sometimes experience none, one, or several areas of pain, depending on a persons trauma history and zone of adaptability/tolerance.

After Treatment

  • When evaluating over 2200+ patients, 90% had a high hip that leveled with just repositioning the jaw joint!

  • Patients that participate in our TMJ Align™ program experience a higher quality of life. Which can often occur within the first 30 days of treatment.

The above image illustrates a body in alignment after the TMJ Align™ program.

Chin Placement Before & After Treatment

Undergrowth and under development of the jaws can establish a poorly positioned jaw joint. If your jaw is too far back you are more likely to clench, grind, or experience snoring/airway problems. Notice the changes in the jaw joint position in front of the ear.

“First you must suspend disbelief and imagine very vividly that you can enter into the place where your own life story can be re-patterened and re-storied from the one that you’re living now. Think of it as a second chance, a kind of ReGenesis.” ~ Dr. Jean Houston
