What is TMJ disorder?
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome is a disorder of the jaw caused by injury or inflammation to the temporomandibular joint. The temporomandibular joint is the connection between the jawbone (the mandible) and the skull (the temporal bone).
Dr. Oliveira has two levels of study with Dr. Bob Walker, speaker and developer of the system of Chirodontics that takes a full body (ascending/descending influences) approach to analysis. The TMJ cannot be examined in a vacuum. It must be seen in context of the entire human kinetic chain from the feet to the bite of the teeth.
Chiropractic management of TMJ:
Chiropractors are experts in the neuro musculoskeletal function of the body. Chiropractors, therefore, have a unique skill set able to assess and diagnose the body in its entirety and determine the relationship to the TMJ.
As required, chiropractors can effectively communicate and work collaboratively with dentists to render the best possible outcome for the patient.
