TMJ and Cranial Work
Our doctors have extensive expertise in TMJ/TMD, airway issue, cranial growth and development. Utilizing gentle but specific cranial treatment, we have helped countless people through combating TMJ dysfunction, jaw pain, tension headaches, migraines, hypermobility syndrome, and anything in between. We also incorporate our resourceful dental referral network into our comprehensive treatment plan so we can all coordinate and offer you the best co-management care to resolve your issue.
Treatment For TMJ
Our TMJ treatment services are available for anyone looking to combat TMJ dysfunction, jaw pain, tension headaches, migraines, hypermobility syndrome, and anything in between. Our goal is to provide a thorough and accurate diagnosis and formulate a comprehensive treatment plan that helps to alleviate your day-to-day discomfort.
Specific Muscle Test
Both our doctors are board certified Applied Kinesiologist who specialized in specific manual muscle testing which focus on testing each muscle’s function and reaction individually. There are roughly 650 muscles in our body and you will be surprised how many of them are inactive which force our body to create “compensation patterns” which means our body is using wrong muscles to move. Un-resovled compensation pattern leads to incorrect muscle memory, which eventually cause restriction, pain and discomfort.

Neuro-Spinal Assessment
Having a healthy and aligned spine is crucial for our structural health. The condition of our spinal health dictates the function for our entire central nervous system(Brain and Spinal cord). When there’s unwanted tension form at our spine, it could cause abnormal sensation, pain, numbness, and even comprised organ functions. Your well-being is strongly affected by the health and function of your spine and nerves system, and we are committed to ensuring that they are in optimal health condition.
