Do you suffer from chronic pain ( chronic headaches, neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain )? Do you have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning because you ache all over? Did you know that a bad jaw alignment can be responsible for chronic pain, not only to your jaw, but pain at a distance (neck, shoulders, back, hips, etc.), that you would never associate to your jaw. When you clench and grind your teeth on a bad jaw alignment, you disrupt the muscle chains (groups of muscles that control different parts of your body). These different muscle chains are all interconnected so that if one group is out of harmony, it will affect others. That is : the muscle chain controlling your jaw is connected to the muscle chain holding your head on your shoulders(neck muscles), which is connected to the muscles of your back and so forth…..so that imbalance in one chain can disrupt the muscles in other chains, and wherever the weak link is along those chains, is where the pain manifests.
