Headache Treatments

 

At Integrated Dentalcaare we are able to help you deal with your occlusal problem.

 

It is unfortunate that people involved in headache treatments such as doctors, dentists, osteopaths, chiropractors, neurologists and psychiatrists do not see through the same filters, study the same backgrounds or try to reach the same conclusions.  In all camps there is so much misinformation about ‘bite relationships’ causing problems when in reality the bite disharmonies generally only perpetuate deep underlying problems that typically caused the bite to grow in as a malocclusion, (crowded and misplaced teeth), both boney and dentally, in the first place.

 

In most instances the occlusion, (the way your teeth meeting when your jaws bite together), is not the cause of somatic emotional imbalance, but the perpetuator of an underlying problem. It is through facial/cranial orthopaedics, however, that we can introduce long-term gentle physiologic forces than can create boney, energetic, (electromagnetic), and neurological changes.

 

The malocclusion (bad bite) does not come first but is rather a result of deeper underlying causes of asymmetric growth patterns that are often stress induced.  Neither do malocclusions exist in isolation.  Significant bite disharmonies such as a small upper jaw and retruded lower jaw, (a deep bite), will typically be seen in combination with head forward posture, accompanied by a reduction in spinal curvature, changes in neck and thoracic posture, restrictions in the pelvic area, with associated changes in the relationship of the tibia and fibula (bones of the shin) and on into the feet.

 

It is equally myopic to think that if the skull is now a primary cause of the perpetuation of other significant, extracranial problems and stresses upon the brain itself due to non physiological membranous tensions that they can be totally and effectively handled in even the majority of interventions either manually, (skilled body work including osteopathy, chiropractic or others),  through surgery, drugs, acupuncture, plastic oral or foot orthotics and any other modes of intervention.

 

If however, there is a thorough understanding of the problem and its dental ramifications and appropriate measures are matched to the specific definable growth asymmetry, corrections can be made using the combination of correct manipulations in conjunction with the appropriate dental device.
