Was: dizziness Now: OT Cranio

[Guest guest]

Hi Stacey,

I am seeing a cranio-sacral dentist now.

Do you know the difference between cranio-sacral and cranio facial?

sacral deals with the whole head including face. Does facial just deal with

face?

He's helping with TMJ, sleep hypopnea, and spinal/body alignment.

What were you helped with?

help her jaw. Perhaps she is having some muscle issues in her neck or the back

of her head, which could very well be causing her dizziness.

find a reputable dentist who could help me, I have undergone many kinds of

treatments,one of the most helpful being physical therapy for my neck and upper

back. Because the muscles in the jaw are significantly intertwined with our

necks and upper backs, any change in jaw alignment (via braces or prosthetics)

can affect our equilibrium. The inner ear is also closely tied to these

muscles.

physical therapist or chiropractor and do at-home exercises, the dizziness

almost always gets better. Just thought you might want a different perspective

in case all your daughter's tests come back normal.
