WARNING: Hidden injuries are sneaky, potentially debilitating, and will strike millions of Americans this year…and due to ignorance and/or inappropriate care, many car accident victims will suffer for the rest of their lives! That’s the bad news. The good news is that there is help available to you that ensures that the insurance companies know what you’ve been going through and your rights are protected. So keep reading the report to find out the well-hidden truth you won’t find anywhere else!

Dear Accident Victim,

Reading this free report may be the most important thing you've done all year. Why? Because finally someone is revealing the shocking truth about car accident injuries many insurance companies don't want you to know. The information in this free report is vital if you want to avoid years of pain, suffering, and misery. So slowly read this report from beginning to end!

Let’s get started…

Every day, thousands of Americans are involved in auto accidents and they aren't lucky enough to have this information in front of them. As a result, they either receive inappropriate care for their injuries or never get their injury diagnosed properly, and often settle their case too soon.

Don't Talk Or Speak To ANYONE About Your Case Until

You Finish Reading This FREE REPORT!

Most insurance adjusters know all about the kind of injuries people like you and me can experience in an accident. They know sometimes you don’t feel injured right away and that’s why they try to settle as quickly as possible while your medical bills are low or non-existent. They’d rather see you in pain after you settle with you picking up the tab for your own treatment.

This Can Happen Even If It’s Your Own
Insurance Company You're Dealing With!

Make no mistake, insurance is a business like any other, and the less they spend on appropriate care, the more money they make their shareholders.

Even if you were involved in a minor fender bender, studies have proven you could suffer from a severe injury that isn't easily noticeable.

You can be severely injured and only feel a little or no pain at all after the accident. Your doctor can easily miss this and mistake your pain for something completely different. This is when insurance companies try to settle with you. Don't make this mistake! Until a recognized and reputable doctor who has experience with low impact, soft tissue injuries says you are 100% okay, don't make the decision to settle too soon!

What MOST Doctors Don't Know About
Hidden Injuries CAN Financially And Physically Hurt You!

See, after any accident, it’s advisable to visit the emergency room to make sure you don’t suffer from any life-threatening injuries like broken bones, a punctured lung, or internal bleeding. This is what emergency room doctors specialize in.

But the problem is that as long as there’s no immediate threat to your life, the emergency room physician is likely to send you along on your way with pain medication to mask the pain.

And here’s the problem with only taking pain medication after your accident…

Soft tissues like muscles, ligaments, discs, nerves and blood vessels need oxygen. They also need to function and move properly.

When you only take pain relief and/or anti-inflammatory medication, scar tissue and adhesions can form limiting the proper motion needed for healthy nerve and blood flow.


Scar tissue is also a substandard tissue that can turn into its own source of pain - causing a number of chronic pains, symptoms and syndromes!

The Problem Is That Soft Tissue Injuries
Are NOT Always Visible On X-Rays

That’s why most doctors don’t have the training to detect soft tissue injuries…they over-rely on vital signs, x-rays, and the pain described by the patient!

Since many doctors can't detect your injury, they make the wrong diagnosis about what's wrong with you. So any treatments you get based on this diagnosis will do practically nothing for you!

The treatment of choice for medical doctors, like your family doctor, is to use drugs to cover up your symptoms (in your case, the biggest symptom is pain) so you don't feel injured anymore. This form of treatment only gives you the illusion that you're okay, when really you can be seriously injured and not know it.

So, If You Are Experiencing Any Of These Symptoms,
You May Be Suffering From A Hidden Or
Soft Tissue Injury…

• Muscle Stiffness
• Spasms
• Neck Pain
• Headaches
• Numbness And Tingling
• Mid-Back Pain
• Low Back Pain
• Difficulty Sleeping
• Irritability
• Memory Loss
• Fatigue
• Difficulty Concentrating

Or worse yet, you may be feeling none of these right now because your injury hasn’t started producing these symptoms yet.

The Shocking Truth About Using Pain Relievers,
Physical Therapy, And Surgery To Get Rid Of YOUR Pain!

Let’s assume you are experiencing some neck pain. How will your doctor attempt to treat you? Well, rather than go after the cause of the problem he or she can’t find (your doctor will never admit they


don't know what they're doing), he or she’s going to attempt to cover up your pain with over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and other, more powerful pain relievers.

These drugs only work by sabotaging your body’s ability to register pain. They do absolutely nothing to fix the problem causing the pain. So, while these drugs are sweeping the dirt under the rug, you’re giving the illusion you’re actually okay. This is dangerous.

Why?

1. Accident victims on pain medication are more likely to settle their case. The insurance companies use this to their advantage so don’t make hasty decisions while on pain relief medication. It may come back to haunt you later.

2. Usually under pain relief medication, you are more likely to worsen your injury! Your body’s way of telling you that you are making things worse is pain and, if you do not feel the pain, you may be aggravating your injury and not even know it! Ever have a sprained ankle? What happens if you keep walking on it rather than sit it out for a few days? It hurts more and more. And why? Because you’re making it worse!

The same is true for these hidden injuries in your neck and back. Yes, you read that correctly! Your doctor who means well and wants you pain-free, may be hurting you by giving you seemingly harmless drugs!

That's not to mention the side effects of using these drugs. You see, the bodily functions these drugs are blocking to hide your pain also have other functions in the body. Depending on the drug, you may run into serious kidney, stomach, or liver problems as a result of popping these drugs just to get through a day of work.

The next step doctors will rely on once their initial treatments fail is to refer you to a physical therapist.




The only problem here is the physical therapist is told what to do by your doctor. This means whatever therapy you undergo is designed to treat the problem your doctor thinks you have, when really it may be something totally different.

So, after this charade, it’s no coincidence most people with ‘hidden’ injuries are still in pain and may even feel worse!

At this point, you are either sent back to therapy to try another treatment that odds are won’t work because the person directing the



treatment, your doctor, never diagnosed your problem correctly. Or, he may recommend you see a surgeon about your problem.

Now, it’s true that surgery is an extremely drastic treatment for these sorts of injuries, but if a surgeon doesn’t know what to go after, you’re probably not going to come out of the operating room fixed.

Oftentimes surgeries, especially in the neck and back, will only result in a short period of pain relief, at best. More than half of all back surgeries will never get you out of complete pain.

Plus, there’s the added risk of infection and anesthesia problems, not to mention other side effects that aren’t too uncommon when it comes to cutting a body open…like missed time off work and reduced living for weeks or months at a time. Do you really think surgery is even an option you should consider especially since your doctor may not have the whole picture?

Discover RIGHT NOW If You Suffer From
A Hidden Injury!

Hidden injuries are extremely serious problems. Unfortunately, medical science is under-trained and unequipped to diagnose and treat them with any measure of success. This is a giant health care problem in this country, considering 20 million people have suffered from a hidden injury.

The sooner you find out you have a hidden injury, the sooner you can start a treatment plan to get rid of it and get you out of pain as soon as possible. Wouldn't it be nice to finally be pain-free and living your life the same way you did before the accident ever happened?




Well, if you do find out that you do suffer from a hidden injury, then this can be your reality. Imagine being pain-free without pills, or painful and repetitive physical therapy, or even the thought of surgery.

Isn't that nice? Wouldn't you rather be healthy and alive once again, rather than living life only one pill away from endless pain, misery, and frustration? Aren't you tired of going to your doctor again and again, and never getting better?

You see, your doctor may know there are better treatments out there available to you, but they also know if they tell you that, you may never come back to see them!

I Have Over 255 Post-Graduate Hours Getting Auto Accident Victims
Out Of Pain Safely And Effectively Without Drugs Or Surgery!

My name is Dr. J. Douglas Busch, Clinic Director of Club Manor Accident & Injury Centers here in Pueblo, CO.

I've spent years fighting for the rights of auto accident victims just like you. In fact, that's why I wrote this FREE report. I'm sick and tired of car accident victims going through years of pain and misery all because no one ever bothered to tell them their rights and the truth about their injuries.



I've used my drug and surgery-free method to help auto accident victims just like you out of pain as quickly and easily as possible. I've been able to help almost everyone who I've diagnosed with a hidden injury.

In fact, I’ve been so successful and happy with helping people just like you get out of pain, I’ve focused a majority of my practice and skills at getting auto accident victims out of pain and keeping them that way! There’s nothing that pleases me more than helping car accident victims just like you.

That’s why I mailed you this FREE report. I want you to know the truth about car accidents almost everyone out there doesn’t seem to want you to know. I know I can help you.

What Is A Screening Test? Why Is This
One Of The Best Ways To Detect Hidden Injuries?




If you respond by the date stamped in red on the pink form that came with this report, then you are eligible for an accident injury evaluation to see if you suffer from a hidden injury.

The equipment I’ll be using to help me with the test is called a Neurocolometer Unit (NCM). What it does is measure neuro-muscular activity in your back to determine if you have a structural injury in your back and/or neck that’s causing your muscles to not work properly.

The test itself is quick, easy, and painless. (It takes about three minutes and doesn't require you to get undressed or anything.) In fact, the only reason I have it in my practice is because it’s so perfect for doing this one job. When the test is done, I’ll give you a report of exactly where I think your problem(s) are.

You can take your report home with you and I’ll even keep it on file in my office for seven years in case you need a copy.)

What’s important is that you document your injuries now! Because not doing so may make any injuries you have get worse and they will become more difficult to treat down the road (meaning keeping you in pain longer), and it may also hurt your personal injury case if you decide to pursue legal counsel.

If you’d like, after the test, we can schedule a time convenient for you to come in for a more thorough evaluation to pinpoint exactly where your injury is. Then, I will prepare a Recommended Action Plan for getting you out of pain as quickly and easily as possible, without using drugs and surgery that doesn’t work.

Even if you feel okay right now, if you were in an accident, you still run a high risk of suffering from a hidden injury. It’s best to play it safe now and get checked out to make sure you really are okay.

The slightest injury, even one that you don’t feel right now, may lead to a terrible condition down the road called ‘osteoarthritis.’ While it is possible to treat it, it takes a long time, and sometimes is impossible to cure 100%. Worse yet, you may have to foot the bill! And all because someone hit you 20 years before!

Call By The Date Stamped In RED To
Schedule Your FREE Screening Test!

While this is still fresh in your mind, call my office at
719-544-7744 and pick a time convenient for you to come in for your accident injury evaluation. If you’re calling after the office closes for the day, leave a message and a number we can reach you at tomorrow, and one of my assistants will call you then.

Your accident’s been a big enough hassle already, from getting your car fixed, to dealing with your insurance adjuster. That’s why we’re dedicated to working around your schedule so you can go about living your life on your terms.

If your test turns up positive, and you are suffering from a hidden injury, then we recommend you consider getting a lawyer to represent your case. Choosing a good, qualified lawyer is extremely difficult and, if you’d like, we’ll even give you a list of attorneys to choose from.

Whatever you decide to do, remember, you need to document your injuries as soon as possible in order to get the care you may need and the settlement you may deserve, and to do that, you need to be checked out by a doctor with the training and experience to diagnose and treat the hidden injuries we've talked about in this report.

If you weren't alone in the vehicle, the other passengers in the car also have the option to come in for a FREE Screening Test. Just give the office a call. We will be happy to schedule a FREE evaluation for them as well just to make sure everyone is really okay.

If children were in your car, it’s vital they are evaluated to ensure their bodies are in good working order and are not subjected to unnecessary pain, suffering, or physical problems later in life. Don’t worry, if we do detect an injury, our care is both safe and effective for children of all ages.

I hope you’ve benefited from discovering the truth about Hidden Car Accident Injuries - the same truth many people out there don’t want you to know. Remember, you have until the date stamped in red to respond to my offer and, if you’re planning on seeking legal representation, the sooner you document your injuries, the better your case will turn out.

Sincerely,

Dr. J. Douglas Busch

P.S. – Don’t forget, many doctors are not trained to diagnose and treat hidden car accident injuries. So, if you DO suffer from a hidden injury, almost any treatment your doctor is giving you may be ineffective and may even be harmful to you!

P.P.S. – You need to document your injuries as quickly as possible for two reasons: (1) It will help your legal case if you choose to go that route, and (2) The quicker an injury is diagnosed, the less severe it will be, and the easier it will be to treat. That means you’ll be out of pain faster and back to living your life the way it was before the accident.

Weight Loss, Health Gain Revolution...

What is the most made and most often broken resolution every year? That’s right weight loss. When I first started teaching at CSU-Pueblo many years ago, the state of Colorado had lost the “Healthiest State of the Union” title and it was mostly for one county. That’s right Pueblo County and it was for the Obesity and Diabetes out of control. We regained the title, but I think it’s mostly because the rest of the country got even worse. We are going to start a revolution to take back the negative reputation of this great place we live. We get the butt-end of most jokes and I need you to help this come to a close. Starting January 11th on Tuesday nights at 6 pm, we are starting a weight loss & health gain revolution. This is NOT one of this give up the one thing you love for short-term gains, this is using proven techniques and guidelines that even the most unfocused person can see great changes in their health. This is a free seminar that will happen monthly with smaller groups meeting more frequently for encouragement so we can take control of the one thing that eludes us, seeing that 6-pack in our mid-section. You can reserve your seat by calling the clinic’s main #544-7744 or e-mail frontdesk@cmclinic.net. It is worth it to you and your loved ones for you and friend to be there!

Heathcare Costs & Offense!

You have heard for months about the rising cost of health care, well it should be clarified and given to us in realistic terms. My daughter had an ER visit that I was sent a $7500 bill and my wife had a 24 hour hospital stay and the tests she was put in to have done was canceled at the last minute and sent home told to take a medication which had nothing to do with her condition, so I know I won't get a refund on the day wasted and the most expensive hotel on the planet. Let me give you some real looks at where costs for us all can be saved.

In 2009, Russo, Weir, and Elixhauser in their peer reviewed article stated that people 55-64 years of age, 3.9 hospitalizations of every 1000 people was for lower back pain. It was actually ranked as #8 as the reason for hospital admissions for this age range. Number 2 is osteoarthritis which is treatable and preventable with the use of Chiropractic care and is only covered up with the use of medications.

In a similar study by Leoretta in 2004 compared 1.7 million insured patients looking for treatment for lower back pain. In the outcome it was revealed that when chiropractic care was pursued the treatment cost was reduced by 28%, hospitalizations were reduced 41%, back surgery reduced 32%, and diagnostic imaging such as MRI, CT scans, etc. were reduced by 37%. So how did it help? Well 95% of these people said they were satisfied with their treatment. When was the last time an MD or a hospital had that kind of success record? Putting this together in real money, if people would use chiropractic as their first option for back pain, it would save the US health care system $28 BILLION EVERY SINGLE YEAR!

So why isn't this the case? It is similar to the search for the cure for cancer, there isn't one, there is a search for more profitable and effective treatments for cancer, not a cure. When you look at insurance companies hiring more risk managers are working full-time to deny or limit care in Chiropractic, but spending Billions on care which is often unnecessary and more often ineffective.

As we look to improve our health in 2011, remember the definition of Insanity, doing the same thing you have always done and expect different results. We keep going to the drug & surgery pushing Medical and Osteopathic Doctors who's best treatment is only 38-45% effective, where Chiropractic has been documented to be over 70% effective and more commonly 86%. If a patient comes to our clinic and thousands like it across the country, they are evaluated to see if they are a Chiropractic case that if accepted can be helped. We also get lots of cases that I know soon into the consultation that this is a condition that medicine would be more effective, they are promptly referred to a competent MD for evaluation. This unfortunately is not the case in most medical clinics, they think they have a treatment for everything. So according to the a study by the Dean of Pharmacology at the University of Arizona concluded that 40-60% of all prescriptions are written off-label. This means that we have already tried Bottle "A, B, & C" with no results so lets try Bottle "D" which may not have even been tested for efficacy to the condition you have, but you demand a treatment even if it is the wrong one or the one that will kill you. This is since over 110,000 people die every year for taking the right drug for the right problem, these are all "on-label" prescriptions. A couple years ago it was reported that we spent $74 Billion dollars on primary use medication. We spent an additional $76 Billion dollars to treat the side-effects of the drugs used in the first $74 Billion. This is just another definition of insanity and it is disguised as normal in the world...

...Look to chiropractic care first, for nearly every problem you have, what you will find, that if the cause of the problem can be identified and removed the problem is gone. Opposed to the patients that tell me they don't have stomach problems anymore because they take the "purple pill." I say, well if it's cured, then stop taking it and see how your stomach problem comes back. We are just covering up the problems and not working to correct the cause and thus we are ranked dead last among the 37 industrialized nations. Let's be smart with our money, restore sanity to health care and schedule your evaluation today, waiting is just covering up the oil light on the dashboard of the car "hoping it will go away."

Until next time...

The bigger picture...

Have you ever went to a museum that has amazing large paintings or gone to where a large mural is painted? When things are over-sized it is amazing how we can see the details even clearer. Have you ever had a time where you felt you were in a fog and even the thoughts inside your own head weren't clear? Well that is what we tend to call brain fog, and is a neurological condition that we treat every day with amazing results, but that's not the point. (I imagine you love reading the blog of a hyperactive ADD doctor:-) Back to the point: When you look at a over-sized painting you can go up close and even the minute details are not lost in lack of vision, but are clear and concise to see even with the naked eye.

Now picture that this large image is a digital image and that you are but a pixel in the large picture. Many times we may feel small and insignificant, but if you take that beautiful picture and you have a few dozen of the pixels decide that they want to do their own thing and not participate and turn off the picture is obviously not complete. So how do we decide to do our own thing? Is that so bad, yes it can be! In fact when we decide that fulfilling our purpose is not as important as making me feel good right here right now, we sacrifice what great things we can have for the okay things we may be able to experience right now.

So lets put some skin on this, many of want to be a part of something bigger, higher or more noble than the daily grind. So we see ourselves as achieving something of great notoriety and think that this daily task is beneath us or not pursuing our higher calling. Well let's just keep things in perspective and steal a quote from a friend as we were discussing this in an e-mail: "Not everyone was meant to achieve greatness, but enduring difficulty and struggles, and still praising and giving God the glory is what matters most. If you can do that, I am certain in the end he will say 'well done my faithful servant!'" -Dr. Berard.

So we want to achieve this great thing, but we keep our eye on the end result, but making sure we are Faithful in this moment! So what does it mean to be faithful in the moment? Do we call a married man faithful because he was faithful on Tuesday? No, we call him faithful because each and every time he had the opportunity to cheat or be unfaithful, he chose to keep his eye on the commitment he made and do the right thing. Why do we call some people focused, because they have some super-human skill the rest of us doesn't? No, just when the distractions come that don't like up with their goals or values, they chose to follow their values and goals than the thrill of the moment. So with all the bombardment of information and distractions that come our way everyday, how can we possibly keep a eye on the big picture and be faithful in the moment? Well here is list of questions to ask yourself to see if you are being faithful in this moment.

1. What is my assignment? When I am with a patient and treating their health conditions, am I focused on them or me. Are we discussing my day or their health? Am I worrying about billing, staff, family, etc. or am I engaged in this brief moment of time I have to instill health, hope and value into this person. When my son asks me a question am I listening to him or is he a distraction from the television? When my spouse is frustrated, do I look at her heart and help her or just react to her words that come out of frustration that may be negatively directed towards me?

2. What are the possible rewards for being faithful in this moment? If I am faithful in this moment, what great things can come out of it? An opportunity to connect with one of my kids? Express value into a patient who will leave super-satisfied? A student who changes her opinion of herself and makes wiser decisions. There are a lot of positive rewards from being faithful in the moment.

3. What are the possible consequences if I am not faithful to this moment? Now we could go to the nth degree real fast, but keeping it simple the person that perceives you are not really listening to them, the frustration of a child not really listening to them, the student that sees her value in what they allow others to do to her than what is in the inside. I often think of all the people who depend on me to be faithful in every moment, family, staff, students, those I've mentored over the years or just those who look up to me, If I'm the next idiot on the news for doing something stupid, what will that do to them?

4. Is my attitude right? It's not just a matter of doing the right thing, but doing it with the right heart attitude. There is sometimes I have to delay or keep quiet as I have to really keep my attitude in check and not react to the what was said or done. If I loose my cool, I loose, no matter how justified I think I may be in my display of lack of control. People who are watching me and you, won't remember all the great things you've shared with them, but that time you put your foot in your mouth or went bizerk.

5. Does this honor God or my purpose? You don't have to be a believer in God or follower of Christ to get this as our purpose is the result of us following our core values. The values that we have defined as what is the guiding principles in our lives. If we are following those in this moment then we are being faithful, but if we are saying one thing is our our core values and living something else even in this fleeting moment, than we are not being faithful in this moment.

6. What would my mentor / leader / hero do in this moment? You could use any of these or all three. Heroes may be few and far between in today's society. When someone starts to make a name for themselves by many times being faithful in the moment, the media or maybe society wants to find the chinks in the armor or find skeletons to tear this person down. This goes back to who we choose to be our heroes, our mentor, the leaders we choose to lead us. I know it sounds like a WWJD moment, and maybe so, but those who we admire, how would they react or handle themselves in a similar situation, that is what we need to ask.

Take these and one by one, start looking at the times through our day and as some or all of these questions and before long it may be you we are admiring for the amazing character you are displaying.

Until next time...

Pain and Purpose...

This has been an emotionally challenging week. I have had some amazing successes in improving lives and giving people back their hope. Have seen a 2 yr old kid with painful bowel movements and urination and ongoing digestive problems, almost with 1-2 treatments give a exacerbated mother back some peace when 2 yrs of repeated drugs, antibiotics, and surgeries and been more frustrating than successful. I've seen a man in his retirement, disillusioned by being in his 'golden' years and his body didn't work enough to hardly get out of a chair and revealed the pain of working so hard for so long and when I have the time and money to enjoy life, he didn't have the health to do anything. Well he showed up today on his new 900 Kawasaki motorcycle with a sparkle in his eye and a spring in his step, thanking us all for giving him back his dream. These are some of the joys that get me out of bed in the morning, then there are the things that make me want to indefinitely hit the snooze bar...

I had the displeasure of seeing my best staff member walk into my consultation room in tears as she had just gotten a call about two of our patients that had terrible chronic pain issues and had been making remarkable strides through good chiropractic care and our brain-based therapy. In this progress, the younger of these two boys who hadn't even turned a legal drinking age yet, had went back to his medical doctor to alter his pain medication as he had been feeling so much better, and so made the change with both to a less powerful drug. This appointment was on a Saturday, Sunday night these two went to bed and one never woke up and the other was in a coma for three days. It angers me and breaks my heart at the same time, to have to hug on a mom at her child's funeral (an event I think no parent should have to experience) and knowing her other child was in a hospital bed. Drugs are not safe, they kill thousands of people when taken for the right dose for the right problem EVERY SINGLE DAY! We have been brain-washed to believe that they are safe and they are the only route to health. If this were true, why would America, which uses more drugs than any other industrialized nation is ranked dead last among 37 industrialized nations?

I would think to apologize and give some disclaimer, but then I get a report from a patient who was told by a Neurologist to not go to a Chiropractor as it causes arthritis. I have to wonder when the last time this doctor actually read a research article or truly helped a patient. The level of ignorance is amazing, even among our most educated. There is no way restoring function can do anything but good for the joint and the nerves around them. Covering up the pain with drugs and so keep stressing the restricted joint, then have to deal with the side effects including death because my mind was so brain-washed or locked up to realize there are more effective and safer treatments than drugs or knifes. The way to health, true health is not through the current medical system as they are looking for symptoms and how to cover-up or reverse them not how to prevent or eliminate them. We must adopt the viewpoint that our health should be using Chiropractic first, Medicine second and surgery as a last resort. We have so many patients that are well into their Medicare years that take no medications and live life to the fullest every single day. It also breaks my heart when I as a new patient what medications they take and they hand me a two page list. In 1990 the average senior citizen took 9 prescription medications over the course of a year and as of a couple of years ago the average has skyrocketed to 38.5 prescription drugs per year. Thank God, most don't take all of these at once, but you'd be shocked to how many they do take at a time. This is not health care it is disease care and if our health care system is broken it is not because of the bureaucrats in Washington, DC, but the lack of people taking responsibility for their own health and well-being and getting healthy from the inside out like the body was designed, not forced alterations from the outside in like done by medications.

I know this is hard to hear, but even harder to see the grim effects of western medicine running havoc on my community, please take responsibility for your own health and use Chiropractic first, Medication second, and Surgery only as a last resort, your legacy will thank you.

Until next time...

What's the jabber with the jaw?

There are thousands of people in our area that suffer from TMJ or Templar Mandibular Joint problems or for the rest of us, Jaw Pain. This is a condition that we see quite frequently in our clinic and it is a condition that if you take the time to find and treat the cause instead of the effects, you can lick this fairly easily.

Taking the medical or dental route is not a cheap way of treating this condition as it either taking endless prescriptions of medication for inflammation, muscle relaxers, then lead to braces on the jaw or the teeth to the point of having teeth shaved or capped to accommodate the dysfunction in the jaw joint. I even had the experience a few years ago, where a person dear to my family had had jaw problems for years and not before I graduated from chiropractic college, had gone and had paid close to four thousand dollars to have the teeth on one side shaved lower. We began to work on correcting the cause of the problem and ran into the obstacle of having one side of the teeth not being at a proper height and it wasn't until after we corrected the TMJ problems that relief was achieved. Of course they went back and paid the same orthodontist a couple thousands to now put caps on the side he had previously shaved and at least the problem was behind us. Thousands of dollars on attempting to treat the effects and the proper care was minimal in comparison to the wasted work done in the dental chair.

There is a meniscus or like a fluid filled sac the jaw joint connects to the skull through and when one side of these attachments starts to act incorrectly the other side is negatively affected as well. Then there are two muscles called the 'Pteragoid muscles' that assist in the opening of the jaw and attach back to the spine. These are all affected by other subluxation complexes including that coming from the upper cervical spine.

Now why is this important? Well situated just under the TMJoint is the trigeminal nerve, which is really a nerve grouping, which supplies sensation and motor function to each side of the face. It is from this wonderful nerve that we get conditions like Bells Palsy (which is half of the face muscle loose strength) and Tic Del la Rue (which is like a stabbing hot poker into the face). So it is crucial that we work to improve the function of the TMJ instead of treating the effects, as we all want to live life to the fullest. Chiropractic treatment is by far the best approach to treating this type of condition.
