Der Kiefer-Code

Even a one-hundredth of a millimeter misalignment in the mouth can lead to discomfort throughout the body. As a holistic dentist and functional diagnostician, Dr. Hamide Farshi encounters patients who have suffered from undefined pain for years. The origin is often the mouth, specifically a misalignment of the jaw joints. This condition is referred to as craniomandibular dysfunction, or CMD for short. It is estimated that at least one in two people will experience this at some point in their lives. Possible symptoms include back, shoulder, neck, muscle, and joint pain, migraines and tinnitus, dizziness, and even heart and intestinal issues. In the course of treating these symptoms, CMD is often diagnosed only by chance, as a holistic treatment approach is frequently not pursued. The book illustrates the connections, discusses CMD characteristics in the face, assists with self-diagnosis, and offers the best exercises for a relaxed jaw.
