Physiologic Neuromuscular dental occlusal diagnosis reveals the structural discrepancy between maxilla (part of the cranium) and mandible. This discrepancy cannot only cause Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD) but also Cranio–Cervical Mandibular Dysfunction (CCMD) of the neck, as jaw and neck function are functionally connected. In fact, this discrepancy affects the entire postural chain down to the plantar fasciae. The cephalic end of this postural chain is posterior dental occlusion, which is proving to be the primary source of many whole-body symptoms with various medical diagnoses. Can Physiologic Neuromuscular dental treatment resolve chronic whole-body symptoms with medical diagnoses? Using clinical case histories, where correcting dental occlusion using Physiologic Neuromuscular paradigm was the only treatment rendered, Dr. Raman will show that the answer is “yes” in many instances. As such, a Neuromuscular dental clinician may offer hope to patients suffering hopelessly with chronic musculoskeletal symptoms far removed from teeth.
