Ask a dentist about your neck and shoulder pain
A neuromuscular dentist works to correct the bite, relieving strain on the jaw and the surrounding muscles.
/Dental PR News/ - June 23, 2006 - If your physician can't pinpoint the cause of your neck and shoulder pain, perhaps the solution is in the hands of your dentist. It is reported that the majority of North Americans put up with headaches, migraines, jaw pain, neck and shoulder pain as a result of jaw joint dysfunction, or a bad bite. Physicians therefore may not have the answers, but a neuromuscular dentist most likely will. Here's why, according LVI Global, the world-renowned institute for advanced dental studies:
Having a "bad bite" (malocclusion) causes an imbalance in the jaw-to-skull relationship, which in turn twists the jaw into a strained position. The bones in the neck are intimately involved with the muscles of chewing, biting, talking, breathing, and head posture. Sore, tight, contracted muscles of the jaw will tilt the head and shoulders causing compensation from neck, shoulder and back muscles. This will cause the shoulder pain you may have been experiencing. A neuromuscular dentist works to correct the bite, relieving the strain on the jaw and the surrounding muscles.
