Dr. Lolita Flores-Fandialan pioneer in TMJ-CRANIO CERVICAL CRANIO-SACRAL CORRECTION & MANAGEMENT since 1988 up to present, teaching dentist and patients on the mystic of TMD & CRANIO SACRAL problem.

 

YOUR NECK

Your neck bone is called "CERVICAL VERTEBRAE", numbering from C-1 to C-7, C1-the atlas balances your skull, C2-the axis permit neck movement in many directions. All vertebrae work together to balance your head and protect your spinal cord. A continuation of your brain that is extremely important because a spinal cord injury can result in numbness or loss of function.

Your vertebrae are connected to each other by muscles, ligament and disc; that help give the neck its curve between the vertabrae are small opening call "Intervertebral foramina" where neves, blood vessel, lymphatic vessels and other tissues are found.

NERVE PROBLEM

Cervical nerves can become irritated or "PINCHES" causing head, neck, face, shoulder and hand pain increased senstivity or other symptoms.

The most common cause of nerve blood vessel and spinal cord pressure is called "vertabrae subluxation", a slight misaligned vertebrae causing nerve irritation. Dental predisposition and retruded mandible can also result to vertebral sublaxation.

According to Dr. Al Fonder, Author of the Dental Distress Syndrome, his greatest discovery was that dental malocclusion routinely results in spinal curvature and the subsequent functional disorder creates disease processess throughout all systems of the body.

Medical research has confirmed that disease occur through endocrinal readaptation (Hans Selye) and neurological signaling errors (Whatmore and Kohli).

Misalignment of the jaw and teeth automatically creates spinal column twisting and automatic reciprocal maladjustment.

DISC DAMAGE AND OSTEOARTHRITIS

If your spine is unhealthy, you may lose your normal neck curvature and suffer from pain, nerve irritation and degeneration.

Disc degeneration maybe due to age, but many young children can also be afflicted if the mandible is retruded and no correction was done while they are growing.

Overtime uncorrected subluxation degeneration causes arthritic changes in vertebrae such as lipping or spurring
