T.M.J Syndrome
Anna-Lorey Batla
I have been seeing Dr. Salminen on a regular basis for several
years. He has made it possible for me to get in and out of my car,
walk and continue life without pain. Most recently I had a severe
problem with my jaw which seemed to feel “out” and very
painful. After I was adjusted for my back, I noticed my jaw was
no longer painful—completely normal. I have my life back.
Daily chores like vacuuming and scouring the bathroom are no longer
chores. Some other benefits include the ability to carry fairly
heavy items, sleep better and most recently, chew again.
I can say that no other chiropractor has ever helped my back. I
can now resume life in a positive, no pain way. At 73, I cannot
add up in a monetary figure the years of disappointment, pain and
cost.
I absolutely love the staff! And as far as the care, it works!
It is gentle and painless and the doctor actually LISTENS to you.
There’s not a negative thing to say about Alpha Spine Center. The best part is I have a great peace knowing that this
is a caring place where kind and sensitive people minister to you
and the procedure works. Please try this procedure as it is so gentle
and painless you can’t believe it really is adjusting you.
A miracle!
RESEARCH
Chiropractic Care of a Patient with Temporomandibular Disorder
and Atlas Subluxation?J Manipulative Physiol Ther 2002 (Jan); 25
(1): 63–70?High-velocity, low-amplitude adjustments (ie, Gonstead
technique) were applied to findings of atlas subluxation. The patient's
symptoms improved and eventually resolved after 9 visits.
The Dental-chiropractic Cotreatment of Structural Disorders of
the Jaw and Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction?J Manipulative Physiol
Ther 1995 (Sep); 18 (7): 476–481 The position of the jaw and
head and neck are intricately linked. The acute symptoms experienced
during the initial dental treatment phase were caused by the inability
of the head and neck to adapt to maxillary and mandibular changes.
Chiropractic treatments enabled the body to respond positively to
the dental changes. As the mandibular position improved, further
improvements were indicated by physical testing and X-rays.
Chiropractic Manipulation of Anteriorly Displaced Temporomandibular
Disc With Adhesion J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1995 (Feb); 18 (2):
98–104?The patient was treated twice a week for a total of
19 visits. During the baseline period no treatment was given to
the TMJ (3 visits) where the patient received cervical manipulation
alone. During the experimental period the patient received both
cervical spine manipulation and a specific manipulation to the left
mandible. There were no physical therapeutic modalities applied
to the jaw. The specific TMJ manipulation used requires a very low-amplitude
high velocity thrust parallel to the slope of the articular eminence.
The results of this study show mandibular opening distance was returned
to normal in addition to the abolition of the patient's TMJ pain
and clicking.
