Head, Jaw & Neck Pain / Conditions are often complex and varied.  Therapy that is thorough and focused on results increases effectiveness.



Head,  Jaw  &  Neck  Pain  &  Conditions...


Nervous impulses travel though various pathways...  These impulses can also communicate with other parts and systems of the body... through what is referred to as neurological 'cross over' pathways.  Therefore, a chronic condition in one part of the body can influence a chronic condition in another part of the body.

It is common for unresolved Neck conditions to eventually show up as frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome, abdominal pain, digestive disorder, and so on...  Cranial restrictions & distortions often show up as TMJ disorders, scoliosis, hypertension, ringing in the ear, and more.  The cause & effect relationships can be quite involved & illusive as the list on the left indicates.

To maintain normal activity, the Brain requires about 750 ml of oxygenated blood every minute.  This is greater by far than the need of any other body part.  Therefore, restrictions in the Head and Neck have a greater capacity to reduce functional and physiological abilities... as well as in contributing to pressure build ups resulting in Headaches, Migraines and more.  Chronic conditions in the Head & Neck also contribute to decreased mental abilities, depression and anxiety.  With proper treatment, this can change.


Chronic  Conditions  are  often  complex,
and  therefore  require
appropriate  and  thorough  Soft  Tissue  Treatments.

This wholistic approach is based on
Osteopathic Principles & Techniques.
