Lock Jaw and Chiropractic
An Urgent Visit
Recently, a patient came in frantic and terrified with her jaw locked open! Her husband took her to a nearby Urgent Care for help, but they said there was nothing they could do—she needed to go to the ER.
A Hopeful Stop
On her way to the ER, they decided to stop by Foresight Chiropractic Wellness Center to see if the doctors could help her. Upon arrival, the response was, “Certainly, come in!” She had been a regular patient during her pregnancy but hadn’t been in for a few months.
The Role of Misalignment
The examination revealed that her Atlas—the top bone of her spine—was misaligned, contributing to her jaw problem. Misalignment in the spine inhibits communication within the Central Nervous System, which controls and coordinates all functions in the body.
Effective Treatment
After gently realigning the spine and allowing her body to reset and relax, the doctor adjusted and realigned the jaw joint. To her immense relief, the patient was finally able to close her mouth. No drugs, no painful therapies, no long wait times in the ER, and no expensive bills.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care, particularly Atlas Orthogonal treatment by upper cervical specialists, can be an effective solution for TMJ issues. It helps clear the nervous system and relieve muscle tension. Additional treatments may include trigger point therapy or cold laser therapy. While chiropractic does not cure diseases, it supports the body in healing and functioning optimally.
