Craniomandibuläre Dysfunktion

Learn how the craniomandibular system (CMS) influences the body and vice versa, what consequences this has for the patient, such as headaches, fatigue, and lower back pain, and how effective treatment can be designed. The five diagnostic pillars that correspond to the most common causes of craniomandibular disorders are presented: arthrogenic, myogenic, osseous, neurogenic, and dentogenic causes.

Connections between the masticatory muscles and the chewing apparatus, as well as disturbances of the musculoskeletal system, internal organs, and the hormonal system, are made clear. Concrete therapy suggestions assist you in the optimal treatment of the patient—either independently or in collaboration with colleagues from other specialties. New in the fifth edition: five revised or expanded subsections on the topics of whiplash injury, sudden hearing loss, the neural network and the suboccipital region, the intrinsic back muscles, as well as dentistry and psychology.

The book is suitable for osteopaths in training and practice, physiotherapists, speech therapists, medical professionals in chiropractic and manual medicine, as well as dentists.
