Correcting Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD)
In this course you will learn the clinical anatomy, physiology, and functional considerations of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). You will learn to determine what chiropractic cranial adjusting TM protocols will be the most effective in correcting the patient’s specific TMJ dysfunction.
Evaluation protocols for the adult and pediatric TMJ will be covered, as well as addressing some standard dental evaluation and treatment protocols to help the practitioner engage in meaningful and co-treatment protocols when necessary.
This class will give you the tools you will need to help your patients who suffer from TMD and its myriad of complications.
