Symptoms Related to the 5th Cranial Nerve (Trigeminal Nerve)
stress, sinus, cluster and morning headaches.
Sleep loss: intense forces are induced during the clenching and bruxing that occurs during sleep. This triggers the trigeminal all night long, and deeper levels of REM sleep are not achieved because pain is generated during sleep; headaches and other symptoms frequently occur night after night. When we eliminate the skeletal imbalances in the teeth and give support rather than trauma to the trigeminal nerve, pain ceases, sleep improves on a regular basis, and depression and fatigue gradually disappear.
Sleep apnea: due to narrowing of airway due to retruded bite.
Eye symptoms: extreme pressure and stabbing pain behind the eye, aura, light sensitivity.
Facial pain: Trigeminal neuralgia or tic douloureux extreme facial pain along the branches of the trigeminal nerve which is chronically irritated by poorly aligned teeth or dislocated TMJoints all supplied by the trigeminal nerve.
Vertigo: We are able to eliminate vertigo and dizziness in 9 out of 10 cases without drugs.
Ear symptoms: sharp shooting pain, tinnitus, hearing loss, inability to clear ears by swallowing, and pain with no infection.
Teeth: the mal-posed teeth often become sensitive, leading to needless root canals, fractured teeth, extractions, gum disease, bone loss, etc.
Sinuses: Symptoms mimic sinusitis; increased mucous production,
Neck & Back pain: Occurs due to the forward or lateral (scoliosis) head posture these patients often develop trying to favor one side or the other due to dislocations in the TMjoints, teeth that are being repeatedly traumatized, or poor work posture. The head weighs as much as a bowling ball, 11-16 lbs., and is not exempt from gravity. This causes the muscles in the neck, back and throughout the body to go into spasm trying to maintain balance. Even your legs, knees, and toes have to be doing something to compensate for the weight shift at the top of the moving skyscraper: forward head, neck, and rounded shoulders. This creates a 2-3 ft. lever arm with a bowling ball on the end of it. Every inch the head moves forward doubles the weight the neck and back muscles must support triggering a lifetime of muscle spasms, compressed discs.... And sadly the medical world ignores the bite, TN, or TMJoints, and it never gets diagnosed, just drugged and set up for multiple surgeries.
Fibromyalgia and back pain: are also caused by this forward head posture and gravity.
Temporomandibular Joint Pain: clicking, and popping within the jaw joints (TMJs) indicate dislocated discs within the joints causing limited opening, inflammation and swelling in the joints, and bone on bone crepitus or grating sounds during opening and closing.
Muscle spasms: muscles of the head and face spasm like muscles in the back, if the disc is displaced or a nerve is being over stimulated between 2 vertebrae. Clench your teeth and palpate the huge temporalis muscle in the area around the temple. This is a main focal point for just one of the many varieties of headaches.
Depression & fatigue
Drugs are not the answer: They cloud the patient’s life and create long-term side affects, systemic complications, and needless abdominal surgeries years later. In 90% of cases, using modern computer technology and precise guidance systems, we can locate the neuromuscular triplane comfort position of both the sensory and motor roots of the trigeminal. This eliminates all or most of these life-altering symptoms without drugs.
At your initial examination appointment, it will be obvious whether this is your problem. You'll wonder why no one has examined you for this before. As our logo states: over 32 years experience eliminating chronic pain without drugs or surgery. Our staff treats you differently because we know from our years of experience that your pain is real and not "all in your head". We UNDERSTAND what chronic pain can do to even the nicest of people. We combine compassionate care with high-tech instrumentation and computer programs never before available to diagnose and eliminate your pain. During phase 1, we will be able to prove to you that we can eliminate your pain, or phase 2 will not be offered. We are unique in the area because we have the necessary specialized training and high-tech equipment to offer the phase 2 treatment that is ultimately the long-term cure. Phase 1 is the diagnostic procedure that locates the triplane comfort position, and phase 2 re-engineers and shapes the bite to that position. Your teeth will be shaped to guide you to the triplane comfort position every time you bite. This eliminates the triggering of the trigeminal nerve which is the root cause of the pain.
