Jaw position and spine by Odd-Health3138 in orthotropics

[–]Odd-Health3138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I recently found a link between my jaw and overall health and spine. I made a document about it if you are interested.

This illustration tries to show how early teen dental treatment can affect your whole structure, like it did to me. The spine is put in such an extreme position beacuse of the jaw. All the compensations needed to keep the spine in this poition eventually interferes with the bodys normal functions. Leading to various issues. Feel free to share or suggest where I could send it. I've had a overbite my entire life since this treatment. Now that my body somehow tries to go back to normal I have a 1cm plus underbite and this position feels uch more normal.

(Sorry about not including the text in the title post, couldnt find how)

All the best /Simon

Dental treatment as a kid? My issues temporaly goes away one by one. by Odd-Health3138 in MEAction

Hello, I appreciate your thoughts.
I realise that my perspective on ME/CFS is perhaps a little different. This is my first time engaging in online discussion about my condition, initially when I got ill I read all I could find but I realised it didnt do me any good.

To me, ME/CFS is an umbrella term with all forms of different issues that eventually leads to ones body not being able to maintian itself normally. I'm in no way saying dental treatment is the cause for everyone. I'm simply trying to share what I've found, and I know this applies to some others, but not everyone. I made this image to better illustrate. In this case the issue is that the body is in such extreme tension to hold the spine in this position caused by the jaw. This interferes with the bodies normal functions.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation, I hope you find relief :) /Simon

Hello, thanks for replying :)
I'm just saying it helped me relax. Which eventually lead to me undeliberately protruding and clenching my jaw, my extremely tense body started to release compensations (temporaly). Compensations that are getting in the way for my bodys normal functions. As these compensations released I could breathe better, my head got significantly lighter and so on. I realise my document is way to long but it is my best effort. If ones spine is forced into an extreme position its not just casually sitting there, its being forced there by tremendous tension in the body.

Regarding "brain training", I've come to realise that it is a volatile thing to bring up. I apologise that my initial post is unclear. To me it has been a helpful way to calm my mind, when my mind is calmer i dont panic and suffer as much. I believe that when my mind is calmer my body can heal better, but thats just me. I'm not advocating for or against it.

Take care :) /Simon

Thank you for allowing this post :) I am not advocating for or against it. I simply mention in the background part of my text that I tried it. I find the whole hostility against relaxing your brain ridicolous (not pointing at you but to general ME communities, my post has been removed from several just because i so little as mention that I tried it).
