TREATABLE SYMPTOMS
TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DYSFUNCTION (TMJD)
There are four major movers of the Jaw. Temporalis, Medial Pterygoid, and Masselter all close the Jaw, while lateral Pterygoid attaches the disc and initiates opening.
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD) is misalignment of the jaw sustained by muscular imbalances.- Symptoms of TMJD include difficulty to completely open the mouth wide, pain in the face or jaw, especially around the ear, and difficulty chewing.
Trismus, also known as “lockjaw”. occurs when the lateral Pteygoid fails to move the cartilaginous disc into place.
We study structure and compensation patterns of the entire body. Since the TMJ is at the top of the body it is important to understand the Righting Reflex. The Right Reflex is a reflex correction of the musculoskeletal system to ensure that the eyes see the horizon line level. Simply put, the body (usually the neck) will adjust itself into a new position to allow the eyes to see level. Understanding the Righting Reflex is another important part of addressing and treating TMJD.

PLANTAR FASCiiTis
Plantar Fasciitis is inflammation of the connective tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. Symptoms include intense heel pain.
There are many layers of muscle underneath the superficial plantar fascia that replicate the same symptom.
Postures where your weight lands mostly on your toes will cause the muscles in the bottom of your feet to tense for grip. This might include high heels, or a professor who leans forward on a podium, or even a runner.
Three muscles make up your achilles tendon, all of which attach to the other side of the heel and may cause heel pain.
Soleus, also known as the heart of the lower leg, pumps blood to and from the foot. When people have swollen feet and ankles that is a tell tale sign that their soleus is tight and needs to be released.

THE THREE MAIN CAUSES OF HEADACHES
- Trigger Point Headaches– Tight muscles that refer pain into the head.
- Headaches can subside, but musculature may still pull on the cranium causing structural imbalances.
- The suboccipitals pictured left, cause the “over the brow” headache pattern.
- Cranial Distortion– Something unique to Neurosomatic Therapy is moving the plates of your cranium into proper alignment.
- On the inside of your cranium, there is a sheath known as the “Dura” that wraps around your brain.
- When your plates are misaligned, the dura can squeeze the brain.
- Pictured right is me! This picture was taken when I was getting headaches regularly. Notice the lines that intersect. Symmetry is beauty.
- Vertebral Misalignment!!!!!!! The Dreaded Migraine!!!!!!!
- Misalignment of the spine as it meets the cranium affects blood flow in and out of the head, contorting the vertebral artery and vein.
