TMJ or Jaw Problems

The tempro-mandibular joint is located on each temporal bone just forward of the external auditory meatus or ear canal. Since the lower jaw is attached to the temporal bones via this joint it isn't any wonder that a displacement or mal position of these two temporal bones could cause joint pains to occur over a period of time.
The temporal bones have the capability to move and rotate like off centered wheels, (back and out, or forward and in), depending on the side affected. This displacement creates an environment for the TMJ joint to become irritated by the misalignment of these bones.
NCR has the ability to reposition these bones without surgery or medications. It is recommended that this procedure be coordinated with the patients' dentist as to maximize the positive affects of this treatment. Allergies: In the 1950's and 1960's Osteopathic doctors used a form of NCR for treating breathing and sinus problems. In anatomical terms NCR increases the diameter of the nasal passages which are made up of cranial/facial bones.
When moved/opened, these bones allow for more air to pass through the nasal passages, thus decreasing the congestion by increasing the volume of nasal air. More air equals dryer passages equal fewer bacteria with less tissue reactions to ingested air particles.
