The Mandibular (lower jaw) Cervical (neck) Connection

Written By Scott L. Tamura DMD, LVIF on Wednesday, Jun 13, 2012 | 02:04 AM

 
Why do so many patients with TMJ have neck pain? How does an unbalanced bite cause imbalance in the vertebrae in the neck? How does the anatomical concept of "Tripodization" of the bones in the neck improve stability of the neck musculature? Which cervical vertebrae is the only one that has a "Bipod" relationship with the vertebrae below it, and where is the third leg of this tripod? The answers to these questions and more are presented in this Youtube video made by Marina Del Rey (California), Neuromuscular dentist, Dr. Scott Tamura. The anatomy and physiology of the Cervical (neck) Spine is explained and sheds light on why movements of the lower jaw (mandible) affect neck posture and how neck posture affects lower jaw position. By watching this video, you will learn how an unbalanced bite can cause neck pain. For more information, call (310) 822-0202 or go to www.drtamura.com.
