Dr. Young works miracle with jaw problem! (Please be assured that
this first line is with tongue in cheek. :)) Well, you be the judge.
Sean Holmes, an 18 year old, was evaluated for jaw pain and locking at
the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, at the Gelb
Craniomandibular and Orofacial Pain Center, in Boston on September 29,
1999 by the Chairman of General Dentistry and the Director of the Gelb
Center. At that time, Sean was able to open his mouth 30mm (a little
more than an inch) without pain and 35mm with pain. He was advised that
he needed jaw splints, electrical muscle testing, MRI of both TMJs, and
possibly orthodontia, a retainer, and a specialized scan to evaluate his
bite. What do you think all of that would cost?
On October 13, 2024 I had the opportunity to evaluate Sean. Photograph 1 was not taken at the first visit, but was taken later to demonstrate the initial degree of opening. I examined more than Sean�s jaw and found excessive muscle tightness in his jaws, neck, back, arms, and legs. Most of his muscles were tender and many were ticklish. I adjusted his neck and back to free-up his stiff joints. He was immediately able to open his jaw a little wider without pain. I asked him to stop all dairy products. I adjusted his spine 5 more times over the next month. Each time, all his muscles were healthier and he was able to open his mouth wider. I call Photo 2, the alligator. It was taken on December 22. I have three questions for you: |
