This is what specialists are suggesting: chronic headaches and muscular pain can
be cured by dentistry.
Back, shoulder, neck and migraine pains and even TMJ disorder can be caused by
jaw alignment; according to neuromuscular dental expert Dr Charmen Douglas.
Her theory is based on the thinking that when muscles cannot get comfortable
they over strain, which causes pain.
Neuromuscular dentists use electromyography equipment to scan and measure motor
nerves and fatigued muscles.
This allows bespoke mouth guards to be manufactured, which will relieve tension
in many parts of the body by realigning the jaw.
The mouth guard works by balancing the body and can reportedly completely
alleviate 95 per cent of migraines and 70 per cent of ear issues.
Some athletes, such as Shaquille O’Neal, are now using these types of mouth
guards in order to improve their sporting performance as they not only relieve
muscle pain but increase balance and oxygen flow too.
