People can have neuromuscular pain throughout their
lives and never understand why it is occurring. Many
people see numerous kinds of doctors about their problems
but do not find relief. To give our clients neuromuscular
harmony, we begin by examining two basic areas of neuromuscular
formation, what you could call ‘natural’ and ‘health
experience’ episodes.
Natural episodes include how the jaw was formed
during childbirth or during the first few years of
life. We have seen many problems that developed
during childhood tooth formation and early alignment of the jaw muscles. Health
experience episodes include physically traumatic occurrences and
the wearing down of teeth, because of disease, excessive teeth clenching and
grinding and sometimes after dental treatments. Unfortunately, this discomfort
can also occur when proper planning is not completed before restorative or
esthetic enhancements are undertaken.
If you have any of the following conditions, neuromuscular
treatment might give you the relief you are looking
for. *
