Cranial Therapy Update
I had an evaluation yesterday by a cranial therapist/homeopathic doctor. I am going with cranial therapy and homeopathy instead of using a splint and possibly jaw surgery. His theory just makes more sense to me...meaning he looks at the body as a whole, the structure, how everything works together, etc. The TMJ therapist and orthos are only looking at that specific area and fixing that. So you can fix the jaw, but if you don't fix the reason why it got there in the first place, you will continue to have more problems. He is also going to treat me with homeopathy. He said there have been cases where a person's jaw has moved back into place a couple days later after taking the remedy. He is a good friend of my boyfriend so I trust him and lectured around the world on cranial therapy treating TMJ. I have a receding chin/jaw. I had some x-rays done and there has been no damage to the joint. So in my case, my problem is strictly muscular and easier to fix than people with joint and bone degeneration.
