Diane - first rib - TMJ Disorder -TemporoMandibular Joint Message Board

Hi Diane,

I am just starting treatment with a neuro dentist and a chiropractor. The chiro I am seeing does what is called Acitve Realease Therapy. Do you know anything about that and would that treatment include adjusting the first rib? The reason I am asking is because what I consider the worst symptom for me is the imbalance and brain fog.

Thanks,

Grace

Hi Grace!
Congratulations on seeing both a chiro and neuro dentist, I hope your treatment is as successful as mine :0)
My chiro does several treatments on me, my favorite one though was adjusting my first rib. It immediately took care of that brain fog, vertigo/dizzeness/nausa. It was unbelievable. I can not believe how much it helped me Grace. I was getting clumsey (sp). Not anymore.
Not all chiros know how to adjust the first rib, I was lucky in finding one who does.
You have a good day Grace and let us know how it goes!

Hi Diane,

How did he/she adjust your first rib? Did they do by cracking an area of your back?

Hi Grace -
She only has had to adjust my first rib 2x. Right at the very start of being adjusted. From what I remember she had me lay on my side, but can't remember what actual action she did to adjust it.. Sorry
Hope you are having a good day

Hi Diane:
Would you mind explaining to me a bit about adjusting the first rib? I have not been to a chiro but if adjusting the first rib would help with the dizziness/brain fog I might consider going to one for awhile. What should I ask when I call chiros offices?
Thanks,
Tiffany
