Jaw Pain

It is strange how some weeks I can see lots of patients with a similar issue, specifically this month I have seen many with pelvic imbalances. That is not to say that the pelvis is what they have presented with, however, it has been appearing in the screening process I run all patients through.

I will get to the point in a minute! – Everyone of these patients with pelvic imbalances, show up with a jaw “problem” on the same side. Now this can range from imbrication (where the jaw is impacted into the socket so it doesn’t move freely) to muscular stresses.

The jaw and the pelvis have a very strong relationship to each other. For instance, when we walk we rotate the head and pelvis together, effectively swinging in tandem. Indeed, both are areas where a majority of people hold their stresses.

Anyway, I have found that by treating the jaw “problem” the majority of patient’s pelvis imbalance resides….just go to show how the body is a finely integrated machine!

Interesting stuff.
