might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.
"God Has Answered My
Prayers With This Doctor, Let me tell you my
story… Eighteen years ago something happened that changed
my life forever. Back then, I was getting ready to get married. I was helping a friend re-roof my home when I fell off of the roof while carrying an 80# bundle of shingles. When I hit the concrete, I cracked two teeth and both sides of my lower jaw. I developed terrible TMJ and Headaches which were worse in my left temple. The pain did not start right away but came on over several months. The pain in my jaw and temple was so intense that I couldn't sleep. I would curl up on the floor in the fetal position with ice on my temples. I was afraid that I would lose my job because the TMJ was affecting my ability to concentrate. And that's not all. The stress to my new marriage was unbelievable. After considering my options, I decided against drugs and surgery. A friend of mine was a doctor so I dropped in to see him. He did some physical therapy, I got relief, and my jaw felt better for about a day. The next day the jaw pain returned and the doctor said that the root cause of my jaw and temple pain was in my TMJ. Some people I know, brought me an article about a doctor who "adjusts the skull bones". I was skeptical that this doctor could help me with my TMJ but I called him anyway. This doctor examined me. He paid particular attention to the plates of my skull. He asked about the various head injuries in my life. The doctor then "adjusted" the bones of my head. I actually felt the bones move. My TMJ disappeared for good this time. Once my TMJ and Headaches were gone, then I had to
learn and master this therapy. You see, I am and have been a doctor for 25
years. It's strange how life is, because now
people come to see me with their
TMJ and Headaches. Although I specialize in TMJ and Headaches, they also come to see me
with their migraines,
allergies, sleep apnea, dizziness, concussions, learning disabilities,
clumsiness, sciatica and low back pain, sinus infections, chronic pain, neck
pain, shoulder arm pain, whiplash and problems from car accidents, ear
infections, asthma, numbness in limbs, post polio syndrome, multiple
sclerosis, and golf and tennis injuries just to name a few. Here's what some of my Patients had to say: " After just one CNSR treatment,
my "vise grip" was gone! After my third treatment, I was able to
open my mouth completely with no pain or clicking." Michele
Daugherty
Denver, Colorado "My jaw on the right side stopped popping after the 1st
CNSR treatment. After the four treatments, almost all of my pain is gone,
left side of jaw is much improved. We were very pleased with the results. It
was worth everything we went through to get it, even the 16 hours total of
driving in from out of town." Kay
Hardy
Tyler, Texas "After
three days of two treatments each day, I can now open my mouth wider, there
is no longer the constant pain, and the pain I have when opening my mouth
widely has been reduced by 80%." "Twenty three years ago an automobile accident
left me with broken facial bones. Since then I have only been able to breathe
through my mouth. I used pressurized oxygen to sleep at night. After my
second CNSR treatment, my sinuses cleared. For the first time in over two
decades I could breathe freely through my nostrils without any blockage.
After my last treatment, I woke up and my jaws felt strange. I opened my
mouth wide--wider than I've been able to open my mouth in over twenty years.
I have ceased my incessant teeth grinding, my jaw is relaxed, and the tension
in my face is gone. My mind has cleared as a result." Michael
John
Rood Duluth,
Minnesota "After the
first day I could feel a noticeable change. The clicking, popping, and
tension were 80% gone. Each day things continue to improve. I'm looking
forward to more CNSR until I'm 100% again." Dennis
Nelson Loveland, Colorado "I have suffered with migraine headaches for the
past 46 years. There is not a conventional medical treatment that I have not tried
at least once. I have not had one migraine since I started the CNS
Restoration treatment. I wish that I had learned of this procedure years ago.
To quote my wife, You now have a life." Dorm
Holder
Dallas, Texas You know, every day patients come to me and thank me for "curing" them of this and that, but I have a confession. My confession is that I don't cure anyone of anything. I never have. What I do is perform CNSR-Central Nervous System Restoration and the body responds by healing itself. Look, There are a lot of "EXPERTS" out there who know nothing about TMJ, but give people a lot of "Wrong Advise" and a lot of misinformation. But you know the truth always seems to win out. People are coming to me because they are sick and tired of just having their symptoms covered up with drugs. Great care at a great fee… My qualifications…I attended Texas
Tech University before finishing my Doctorate at Texas Chiropractic College.
I have published a book called "At Last: “The Answer To Migraine
Headaches and TMJ". I’ve been entrusted to take care
of tiny babies to aging parents and have even had patients travel from
as far as Toronto, Canada; Calgary, Alberta, Canada; Vienna, Austria;
Jakarta, Indonesia; Colorado, Texas, Georgia, Wyoming, Wisconsin, Arizona,
New Mexico, Nevada, California, New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina,
Illinois, Minnesota, and Oklahoma to get help for their TMJ and
Headaches. Dr. Jim McCarty, D.C.

For most
people, the problem starts with clicking of the jaw and then jaw pain and they
go to the dentist. He then tells them that they have TMJ and are grinding
their teeth and that their jaw joint is deteriorating. He will then tell you
that he does not specialize in TMJ and will suggest going to a dentist who
treats TMJ a lot. The TMJ
"specialist" will re-examine your jaw and make impressions of your
teeth. He may even make a model of your jaw so that he can measure the
movement (translation) of the joint. Then a custom mouth guard or splint is
made that you have to wear at night or 24 hours per day for six months to two
years. When the
splint does not help, then braces are recommended for a year or two. Some
dentists will try to grind the teeth down to match your bite better thinking
that the bad bite is causing the TMJ. Sometimes surgery to break the jaw and
re-align the bite is even tried. The costs for all this usually exceeds $50,000 plus these patients
are still in pain after six years of "regular TMJ specialists"
treatment. Only
10%-25% of the patients get partial relief from this therapy. I have discovered that TMJ is NOT
caused by grinding your teeth or bad occlusion. Pressure on the Temporal bone and
sphenoid bone are causing the upper jaw and roof of your mouth to become
compressed. The truth is that the temporal bones
and sphenoid bone are compressed causing misalignment of the upper and lower
jaw. Then your jaw muscles begin the
process called "splinting" and "accommodation".
Typically, one side becomes very tight and the other side begins to pop and
click. My CNSR-Central Nervous System
Restoration approach is totally different from the Dental approach. I have found that we can help 90% of
the patients with TMJ within 12 months by using a combination of five major
therapies and three minor therapies. So Far, I am the only doctor in the
United States trained in all eight therapies. There are no other doctors in the world
who are using the combination of techniques that I use. So far I am the only doctor who has
specialized in TMJ in North America who is using these EIGHT techniques. I have found that if I combine five major and
three minor different TMJ techniques that I get faster and longer lasting
results. They work together very well and the results last. 1.
Nimmo
Technique-deep muscle work along the spine developed by Dr. Ray Nimmo, a
chiropractor, which breaks
up lactic acid in the muscles and increases blood flow and oxygen thereby helping the muscles to relax. Nimmo Technique Video

Technique)-Very light muscle work designed to relax the muscles of the spine,
neck, face, and jaw even further so that they do not pull the bones back out of
place. The Bowen work has its own protocol for helping the TMJ.. Developed
by Tom Bowen of Australia who was an osteopathic type of therapist. It resets these muscles so that
they do not pull the jaw back out of place. Bowen Technique Video #2

CNSR-Central
Nervous System Restoration-uses a small instrument that looks like what is
used for "angioplasty". It is a blood pressure cuff with a finger
cot (small balloon) attached that is
placed into the nose (turbinate bones) and inflated with air for about 1-2
seconds. Actual Balloon Assisted Cranial
Manipulation Video
#5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErTB42gSjSo
The balloon then opens the cartilage at
the back of the nose and allows you to breathe better. It also "begins
the process" of restoring the subtle motion of the skull bones that is
supposed to happen when you breathe air in. The CNS Restoration therapy focuses on removal of
pressure on the jaw and facial bones from the inside by restoring movement
to these joints. Recent research, done at my clinic in August 2004, has allowed for
FINE TUNING of this “ CNS Restoration”. Click here
for short video of the CNS Restoration procedure itself on an actual patient.
6. (Masseter) spindle fibers-very gentle massage of the major jaw muscles that
allow you to chew. 7. Atlanto/Occipital Restoration-(Ligament
Resetting)-light pressure applied behind the ear (bottom of the skull) and to
the upper bone in the neck while rotating your head throughout its range of
motion during inspiration and expiration to reset and remove stress off of a
VERY IMPORTANT ligament that acts like a guy wire to support the skull. I have seen the TMJ get well many times by the
use of Nimmo, Bowen Therapy (Neuro Structural Therapy), Cranial Sutural
Spread, Atlanto/Occipital Restoration, Masseter Muscle Spindle Restoration
and CNS Restoration which each have their own method of correcting the TMJ. The Soft tissue work is just as
important as the CNSR in correcting the underlying cause of the TMJ. Summary of Treatment Video

On the first day we do an
exam which gives me a pretty accurate estimation of the length of time that
is needed for your treatment (6-12 months). The most number of major points
that can be jammed is six major skull plates which means an average of six series of
treatments over six months (average for 7 out of 10 patients). Most
TMJ patients have all six major skull spots locked up and need 24 to 32
individual treatments.
If you have six "compressed" skull sutures then it normally takes
six series of four days of therapy {24 individual treatments} spaced about
one month apart. If you have 28 individual patterns out of the total possible
of 78 patterns; then it will take 7 series of treatments. If you have 32
patterns out of the 78 total patterns that need correction; then you will
need 8 series. Occasionally
(for 3 out of 10 patients), the treatment may progress a little slower than
the averages that I have quoted. We will know this on the first day after the
exam. Patient
Testimonials --click here to go directly to TMJ
Testimonials. "The Cause Of TMJ Dysfunction "
To understand the cause of TMJ dysfunction we need to start with the basics, at the beginning. Although this may appear too simplistic for a dentist, oral surgeon, TMJ specialist, family practitioner, or even a patient who has the condition and thinks that they know all about it. Please bear with me. The basic information is needed to understand the later concepts. The jaw joint is also called the temporo-mandibular joint. It is where the lower jaw (mandible) meets or joins the upper jaw (maxilla) and head at the temple. Temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction is a very serious condition. It is extremely painful and annoying to the person who has it. It does NOT go away by itself. Problems with the TMJ usually begin during puberty and shortly afterward. It may not become apparent until after a car wreck, head injury, or long periods of high stress. Symptoms of TMJ dysfunction are pain in one or both jaw joints. It also includes popping or clicking in one or both sides of the jaw joint. It may seem severe and constant or may appear to come and go. The person may be aware of constant tension in the jaw. They will have an uneven bite even if they are not aware of it. Usually teeth grinding, called bruxism, is occurring at night causing uneven wear and tear on the teeth. It also results in locking of the jaw joint causing the patient to not be able to open their mouth completely. The pain from a TMJ condition may be mild, moderate, or severe. A TMJ condition does NOT go away without treatment. High stress leads to TMJ and TMJ conditions lead to irritability, and headaches. The temporo-mandibular joint is basically a complicated hinge joint. It is capable of movement both up and down as well as some side to side motion to allow for chewing and grinding of food. The upper jaw is called the maxilla and is shaped like a horseshoe. The lower jaw is called the mandible and is also shaped like a horseshoe. The upper and lower jaw meet together in a hinge like joint just in front of the ear on each side of the head at the lower portion of the temples. The normal functioning of the temporo-mandibular joint should be a smooth gliding like movement. The mouth should be able to open and the lower jaw drop straight up and down like a well oiled gate that does not squeak. It should also operate like a gate that has a well operating self closing mechanism. Pain, popping, and clicking of the jaw joint occurs when the upper jaw is more narrow in the back than the lower jaw causing the lower jaw to not connect evenly with the upper jaw. This also results in a jaw joint that opens and closes like a rusty gate. Not only does it make noises but it takes more effort to push and pull it open and closed. Teeth grinding (bruxism) is looked at as a problem because it causes uneven wear and tear on the teeth. It also causes teeth to chip and break. However, this is the body’s method of unlocking the TMJ. Next we move from our basic knowledge that the jaw is
like two horseshoes to the next step. All bone is living
tissue. It is alive and growing. It is
somewhat flexible and bendable.
It is capable of repair when it is broken. Especially during puberty, the jaw
and head are growing longer and larger. As the brain grows larger, the skull
plates have to enlarge to allow the brain to grow. If the skull partially fuses before
the brain finishes growing or the skull plates become locked or jammed due to
injuries then the brain becomes compressed and begins to dehydrate. All growth and nerve function are then slowed down and
cease to function properly. Brain function
becomes abnormally slow because blood flow to the brain is decreased.
The upper and lower jaws have to grow and lengthen in order for the teeth to
have room to come in. When the teeth come in crooked it is a sure sign that
the bones of the face are not symmetrical and the joints of the many small
bones of the face have become locked and jammed. It is also a sign that the
jaw and head are not growing fast quick enough. When wisdom teeth do not have
room to come in it is another sign that the skull and jaw are behind in their
growth rate. The rate of growth of the head, jaw, and all the bones of the
body is directly dependent on the amount of growth hormone available. Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland. The
pituitary gland sits behind the bridge of the nose even with the
temples. Proper
flow of spinal fluid and blood to this section of the brain is required for
the pituitary to produce growth hormone in a proper and timely
manner. Good blood supply to the pituitary gland is also required to ensure
proper production of growth hormone. Trauma to the head slows down the flow of the fluid in
the brain called "cerebro spinal fluid" by resulting in locking or
jamming of the face bones. When the flow of the spinal fluid slows down, then
the pituitary gland begins to dry out and shrivel up. This causes
wrinkles
in your face and you begin to age faster and lose elasticity of your
skin. Menstrual problems also develop. Both sides of the face and skull should be symmetrical or identical. However, they seldom are. The eyes should be the same size and shape. The nose should be straight. The cheekbones should not be depressed. The forehead should be rounded not flat. The ears should be level (they seldom are) and the mouth should be symmetrical especially when you have a relaxed smile. If you stand in front of a mirror and imagine drawing a line down the middle of
your face, what differences do you see? Do your two front upper teeth line
up with your two front lower teeth? These small differences are all
outward indications of internal injuries and restrictions of the
growth process. Unless you are in the medical field, the only bones that you have ever seen are dead bones. These bones are dead and dry and hard. They do not bend. Live bones however, have some degree of flexibility (kind of like a Popsicle stick). Live bones are not hard and dry. When live bones are placed under tension the bone itself actually changes shape. The bones then remodels itself and extra bone cells travel to the area of tension in order to strengthen that area, just like when a broken bone is healing. Now we are ready to move to the next level of understanding about the TMJ. There are many bones in the face, head, and jaw. The major bones of the skull are the frontal (forehead) (1), parietals (top sides of head) (2), temporals (2), and occiput (back of head)(1) and sphenoid (1). Next, there are many small bones of the face. These include the cheekbones (zygomatic arch) which are actually made up of three separate bones which never completely fuse. These small bones allow for very small subtle movements of the skull when we breathe in and out. As we breath, our sinuses alternately fill and empty with air. These sinuses can still be seen even in a dead skull. The nose is made up of lots of cartilage along with many small bones. These allow for more movement. As mentioned before; behind the nose, cheekbones, and forehead are sinuses that alternately fill and empty with air every time we breathe. This causes small amounts of expansion of the head each time that we breathe. Any injury to the head which restricts the movement of any of these bones results in shallow breathing. Shallow breathing is unhealthy. Once you’ve mastered this information, the next step is
to get a picture of the inside of the skull. This is the most important part,
yet I will keep it simple. Inside the skull are two bones that look like big
boulders. They contain the inner and middle ear. These bones are thick and
hard. Towards the sides and front of the head are the most important
bones of all as far as TMJ sufferers are concerned and they are called the
temporal bone and the sphenoid bone. The sphenoid bone is shaped like a butterfly with it’s
wings outstretched. It is more important than the lower jaw itself or the
temporo-mandibular joint as far as your pain is concerned. The
sphenoid bone connects the left side of the head to the right side of the
head. When the sphenoid is not level then your ears are not level. The sphenoid looks and acts like a flexible three dimensional
see-saw. When the sphenoid is under pressure it becomes twisted. When the sphenoid bone becomes twisted out of its normal position then the upper jaw (maxilla) becomes twisted because the two bones are connected. The roof of the mouth then becomes compressed and bends upward to form a high arch or one portion of the roof of the mouth will slide like the "tectonic plates " of the earth one over the other. [If you rub your thumb across the roof of your mouth then you may be able to feel a slight distortion down the midline of the roof of your mouth.] The twisting of the sphenoid causes pressure on the upper jaw causing it to become more narrow in the back. The upper jaw then feels like it has been clamped into a vise. The lower jaw will respond by bending with the upper jaw as long as it can. The upper jaw finally becomes so twisted and under so much pressure that the lower jaw begins to pop and click out of position. "A compressed and twisted sphenoid bone is the source of 90% of your TMJ pain. This can be corrected with 6-12 months of treatment." Sincerely, Dr. Jim McCarty, D.C. 1-817-421-0492 or

Frequently Asked Questions TMJ is not new and there is a solution
that works to give long term results. Splints, braces, physical therapy, and surgery do
not get to the root of the problem. The only problem is that the dentists are only using what they
have been taught in school and are not up to date on the new research of what
is working. I do not do surgery! I am not a dentist
or an oral surgeon. I am a chiropractor with special training on "TMJ
and CNS Restoration". There is NO NEED for you to be in such
pain. Most of my patients begin to see results and begin to feel better with
the first 8 treatments (two series). The first day, I would examine your skull not
with x-rays, CAT Scans, and MRIs, but with my hands and also with specific
Orthopedic/Neurologic Reflex tests that are designed to show me how fast your
brain is reacting to gravity and how quickly the left side of your brain is
talking to the right side of your brain. The examination will reveal how many and which of
your sutures and skull plates are locked up in the wrong position and will
indicate how many series of treatment that you need. These tests tell me
which areas of YOUR brain are dryer than they should be and are causing
pressure to build up inside the spinal fluid and are causing YOUR TMJ. This is all done by physical examination of the
head. (No costly MRI or Cat Scan or X-rays) Correcting your Muscle Spasms and TMJ would
be a PROCESS...not
an overnight cure as I'm sure that you are aware. I tell patients that They Will Not "LIKE" The Treatment But That They Will "LOVE" The Results. After I examine your skull to find out how many
of the skull plates are locked up, then we begin treatment. First I do the deep muscle work, then the light
muscle work from Australia, then the massage of the skull plates along the
sutures, then I remove pressure on the brain stem, and finally I place a little instrument with a
balloon in your nose and put air into it for 2 seconds. The air in the balloon will move the bones
(incrementally) into their correct position. Half of the people that I work with say that it
feels like they jumped into the pool and got water up their nose (uncomfortable
but not a big deal). The other half say that it feels like very intense
pressure and hurts for the 2 seconds. They even hear the cartilage and small
bones in the nose move and say that is sounds like Velcro being pulled apart
(uncomfortable but tolerable because it is only for 2 seconds). Each series of treatments is four days and the
treatments are “normally” scheduled about a month apart. Each patient is
different and in certain circumstances the treatments should be done closer
together. Treatments last about an hour in the beginning
(maybe 1 1/2 hours) and a little less as time goes on. I actually spend about
30 minutes with each patient. The treatments are four days in a row and then
we usually wait four weeks before doing more therapy in order to allow the
spinal fluid to begin to do its work. Insurance usually covers at 60% after a yearly
deductible if we use a diagnosis of "Headaches" and AVOID the
diagnosis of "TMJ". After all, the pain that you are feeling is in your
head. This keeps the coverage under Major Medical and Chiropractic instead of
under Dental insurance. We usually have about 6-8 TMJ patients per week
that we work with and we could handle about 12 per week so getting in with
about a week or two notice is USUALLY no problem but some weeks are
booked more solid than others. During the last seven years, I have combined
Five Major and Three minor different "non-surgical" therapies that
are completely curing 90% of the TMJ patients within six months. 10% of the patients are requiring 12 months of
therapy because of extenuating
circumstances such as “scarring and dehydration” within the Central
Nervous System (Brain and Spinal Cord) from severe tailbone injuries or from
severe viral infections in the past. For some people, Emotional trauma from past
experiences { such as rape} may occasionally surface during the treatment and
this can extend the original estimation of length of treatment. As I unlock the skull bones and remove the
pressure on the brain, the circulation to the brain is increased and your
memory will improve. About "one out of fifty" people have
old memories that contain old emotional issues that were suppressed. If you
are one of these people who has suffered a lot of “victim abuse” then your
subconscious will process this old
emotional trauma usually in one week or less. Then you will feel much lighter
but you may have a good cry during that day or two while your brain processes
the old emotional baggage. For the majority of people we are able
to restore the proper flow of the spinal fluid and get rid of the TMJ in six
months or less. There are no other doctors in the world
who are using the combination of techniques that I use. I have found that if I combine five major and
three minor different TMJ techniques that I get faster and longer lasting
results. So far I am the only doctor who has
specialized in TMJ who is using these EIGHT techniques. They work together very well and the results
last. 1. Nimmo Technique-deep muscle work along the
spine developed by Dr. Ray Nimmo, a chiropractor, which breaks up lactic acid in the
muscles and increases blood flow and oxygen thereby helping the muscles to relax. 2. Bowen (Neuro Structural Integration

neck, and face even further so that they do not pull the bones back out of
place. The Bowen work has its own protocol for helping the TMJ.. Developed
by Tom Bowen of Australia who was an osteopathic type of therapist. 3. Cranial Sutural Spread- regular cranial work
that feels like I am massaging the scalp where the bones of the skull come
together. This promotes
the flow of the cerebro spinal fluid in and around the brain. 4. Cranial Lift-very gentle lifting of the head
with patient laying face up with light pressure laterally on the underside of
the skull to increase
blood flow to the brain by relaxing spasms in the "Vertebro/Basilar
Artery" which supplies blood to
the brain. 5. Reset jaw muscle (Masseter)
spindle fibers-very gentle massage of the major jaw muscles that allow you to
chew. 6. CNS Restoration-uses a small instrument that
looks like what is used for "angioplasty". It is a blood pressure
cuff with a finger cot (small
balloon) attached that is placed into the nose (turbinate bones) and inflated
with air for about five seconds. The
balloon then opens the cartilage at the back of the nose and allows you to
breathe better. It also "begins the process" of restoring the
subtle motion of the skull bones that is supposed to happen when you breathe
air in. Recent research,
done at
my clinic in August 2004, has allowed for FINE TUNING of this “ CNS Restoration”. 7. Atlanto/Occipital Restoration-(Ligament
Resetting)-light pressure applied behind the ear (bottom of the skull) and to
the upper bone in the neck while rotating your head throughout its range of
motion during inspiration and expiration to remove stress off of a VERY
IMPORTANT ligament that acts like a guy wire to support the skull. I have seen the TMJ correct itself many times by
the use of Nimmo, Bowen Therapy (Neuro Structural Therapy), Cranial Sutural
Spread, Crane Condyle Lift, Atlanto/Occipital Restoration, Masseter Muscle
Spindle Restoration and CNS Restoration which each have their own method of
correcting the TMJ. The Soft tissue work is just as
important as the CNSR-Central Nervous System Restoration in correcting the underlying
cause of the TMJ. The cost of treatment will vary according to the
number of skull plates that are locked up. The average length of time needed
for 7 out of 10 patients is one four day series of treatments for each of the
six major skull plates that are "locked up". The exam is $250.00 and the first four days of
treatment are $750.00. That
includes the all four days of the “Soft Tissue Work” and all four days of the
CNS Restoration. Each additional
series is $750.00. The worst case scenario for 70% of the TMJ
patients would be that all six major plates are locked and therefore six to
eight series of treatments would be needed. That would cost a total of
$4,750.00 to $6,000.00 spread out over six to eight months. About 30% of the TMJ patients have extenuating
circumstances that require slightly more treatments. CNS Restoration is
not a panacea treatment that gets rid of every ache or pain from head to toe. Most of our patients get reimbursed 60% from
their insurance companies after a yearly deductible. Each
four day series is paid for when it is received. Since The cerebro Spinal Fluid acts like hydraulic
fluid and once the locked up skull joints are unlocked then the spinal fluid
begins to push the bones and cartilage into their proper position. They
tend to stay in the right place unless you receive a new injury or if you are
under lots of stress. It is the combination of these five
major and three minor techniques that gives our clinic its high success rate. This means quicker pain relief and less money out of your pocket
in the long run. The “Soft
Tissue Work” allows the CNSR to correct the TMJ quicker with less visits. Our clinic is in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, and
is the only TMJ Clinic in the United States that uses these EIGHT techniques.
I am the ONLY doctor in the United
States trained in all these therapies. We have a 90% success rate in getting
rid of TMJ in six months. It Is Correctable!!! About 2/3 of my patients are from
"out of state". They drive or fly into Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. The patients stay for 4 days and do either
1 or 2 treatments per day. This means that we either get 4 or 8 treatments
done during the 4 day of treatment. Each treatment lasts about one hour. The sinuses and
the skull plates themselves shift with barometric pressure. Also brain
chemistry is playing a role. CNS Restoration helps to normalize brain chemistry
by removing the abnormal pressure of the skull that is compressing various
lobes of the brain. There
are four lobes of the brain. Each one makes a different type of brain
chemical and each lobe has a specific brain wave associated with it. [Alpha,
Beta, Delta, Theta] The
frontal lobe makes a chemical called "dopamine". This makes the
brain work faster and keeps you awake and alert. It also helps you to feel
like you can overcome any obstacle or challenge in your life. This chemical
can become depleted when people take cocaine and amphetamines and when people
are not exercising and when they are under stress. The
temporal lobes make a chemical called "G.A.B.A. (GAMA AMINO BUTYRIC
ACID) which helps you to deal with stress and balances the left and right
hemispheres of the brain. Without enough of this chemical, your brain will
feel like sparklers or firecrackers are going off inside the brain. This is
the nerves of your brain not getting the proper message to the correct
portion of your brain. Therefore your body does not respond when and how you
want it to. The
parietal lobes make a chemical called "acetylcholine". This helps
your memory and is how one nerve sends a nerve impulse to another nerve.
Without enough acetylcholine the brain slows down and cannot communicate fast
enough with your muscles. The left side of your brain cannot communicate fast
enough with the right side of your brain causing chaos in your brain and
throughout your body. The
occiput makes serotonin which also helps us to rest and sleep along with
sexual functioning. It also deals with stress, digestion, and ability to let
your mind rest and not race. Day to day stresses can "burn up" these chemicals
faster than you can make them when the
skull plates are "locked". We are finding that the work that I do; CNS
Restoration to unlock the skull plates makes a direct improvement on brain
chemistry. In fact, the quickest way to normalize brain chemistry is to
unlock the skull plates so that the cerebro spinal fluid can flow properly
and rehydrate the brain. As pressure is released at each skull suture, the
blood flow increases, memory improves, and pain decreases. Once the skull
plates are unlocked, then you need to finish balancing your brain chemistry
through diet and exercise as explained in the book called "The Edge Effect". "The Edge Effect" is a very good book written by an MD that is
written in plain English for the non medically trained person. It will give
you other clues about things that you can do to improve your health problems.
My intention is to help heal as
many patients as I can. Although I have had remarkable success using CNS
Restoration to help very difficult cases, I am not allowed to make
guarantees. Each patient and each situation is different. If you continue to
treat TMJ with the traditional approach, then you will get traditional
results. My approach using CNS Restoration is quite different and effective.
