Praise For: Mastering TMJ Dysfunction

I love the breakdown for the protocols for each of the three majors. Temporal, Frontal and Sphenoid. That was my favorite part. I also love the Kinesiology testing for the occlusion, half open and full open. The last thing that I truly appreciate within this class is the way that it just improves and adds on to the rest of the information that I have learned from your classes.

I think that this class will make me more focused on how I treat TMJ issues in adults and with my protocols for infants. I have done the intraoral work for years and this class is the gold standard for treatment. I am thankful for this information.

I have used this quite a few times in many of my adult patients and more specifically in one of the full-term/full size twins that I have been working with in the last couple of months.

Yes, as always! I recommend your classes to everyone that I can! Infinity!

I just love learning, specifically from you two! I have found a renewed sense of wanting to absorb and master everything that you guys teach! Thank you.

My takeaway: This program is comprehensive, thorough and life changing.

I am a better physician for it, I know what to look for, I am inspired again. I had an adult TMJ patient, locked jaw, solved in 6 sessions.

Yes, I would recommend this program. We say we treat the body as a whole, but a lot of times chiropractors do not address the TMJ. Therefore, in certain instances we are solving the symptoms and not the cause. If we want to say that we solve the root cause of problems and not just the symptoms then we all should learn more about cranial and TMJ.

Thank you so much for the last videos ! I must admit I was wondering if you were going to have demonstration videos. For a visual learner like me those were priceless.

This TMJ course was both thorough and clinically applicable. I really appreciated the way Dr. Martin explained the anatomy and mechanics of the TMJ, breaking down the role of each cranial bone and then showing how it all integrates into overall cranial and neurological function. His ability to connect these complex relationships in such a clear and systematic way made the material easy to follow and even easier to implement. I also really liked the videos where he walked through his specific procedures and adjusting protocols—seeing his hands-on process in real time helped solidify the concepts and gave me confidence in applying them in practice. Lastly, I appreciated learning about how and when to refer out if needed, and how to co-manage cases.

I feel way more confident speaking to dentists now, having better verbiage and understanding of the mechanics. Also, teaching for PPI, I have more confidence speaking about not just the TMJ, but each roll of the cranial bones from infant to adult.

I have been using the 5-point mandible check on both adults and kids and it’s been a great indicator system not just for me but even validating to the patient that there is an issue.

Yes, I would recommend this program. This class is so thorough. It goes above and beyond in demonstrating the specifics of each cranial bone and adjusting protocols and how to communicate with other practitioners.

My three takeaways:
1. TMJ issues are frequently triggered by other subluxations in the body that may affect the cervical curve or tension in the neck.
2. It is important not to overwhelm the neurology of the person by doing too much.
3. Correcting cranial and TMJ distortions is complicated but amazing results can be achieved if you master it!

I am better able to take care of clients with TMJ issues. I’ve had a long-term client with chronic TMJ distortion. I was able to evaluate and apply some of the temporal balancing techniques and she had more relief than she’s ever had.

Yes. I would recommend this program. So much information to help advance the skills and results achieved.

My three takeaways:
1) It is a very extensive course that works detailed through all the ways of examining a patient with TMD. 2) It helps to have had clinical experience to easier know how to apply the knowledge. 3) The information is well explained and shown how to apply.

Taking this course has helped me realize the impact cranial work can have on the body and nervous system. Despite it having “small” movements within the sutures, it is fascinating to see how delicate the nervous system is and is affected by these issues. Professionally this has helped me be able to have several views on patients’ problems and think of possible different approaches to chronic patients. Personally, I enjoy gaining more knowledge that makes me happy about my choice to become a chiropractor.

I had a 14 y/o patient come in with only TMJ pain that she had had for 2 years both when it was still and during chewing. Very active in sports. She had a very obvious postural distortion: anterior pelvis, extended spine and forward head. After starting care and working with adjustments, traction and exercises for about 2 months, she no longer had any jaw pain. (her and her parent were very surprised)

I would recommend it to coworkers who have an interest in applying this kind of care. It is definitely a very detailed course, so there needs to be some motivation about learning this kind of information before starting it.
