"God Has Answered My Prayers With This Doctor,

Let me tell you my story…

Sixteen years ago something happened that changed my life forever.

Back then, I was getting ready to get married. I was helping a friend re-roof my home when I fell off of the roof while carrying an 80# bundle of shingles. When I hit the concrete, I cracked two teeth and both sides of my lower jaw.

I developed terrible TMJ and Headaches which were worse in my left temple. The pain did not start right away but came on over several months. The pain in my jaw and temple was so intense that I couldn't sleep. I would curl up on the floor in the fetal position with ice on my temples. I was afraid that I would lose my job because the TMJ was affecting my ability to concentrate. And that's not all.

The stress to my new marriage was unbelievable. After considering my options, I decided against drugs and surgery. A friend of mine was a doctor so I dropped in to see him. He did some physical therapy, I got relief, and my jaw felt better for about a day. The next day the jaw pain returned and the doctor said that the root cause of my jaw and temple pain was in my TMJ.

Some people I know, brought me an article about a doctor who "adjusts the skull bones". I was skeptical that this doctor could help me with my TMJ but I called him anyway. This doctor examined me. He paid particular attention to the plates of my skull. He asked about the various head injuries in my life. The doctor then "adjusted" the bones of my head. I actually felt the bones move. My TMJ disappeared for good this time.

Once my TMJ and Headaches were gone, then I had to learn and master this therapy. You see, I am and have been a doctor for 20 years. It's strange how life is, because now people come to see me with their TMJ and Headaches. Although I specialize in TMJ and Headaches , they also come to see me with their migraines, allergies, sleep apnea, dizziness, concussions, learning disabilities, clumsiness, sciatica and low back pain, sinus infections, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder arm pain, whiplash and problems from car accidents, ear infections, asthma, numbness in limbs, post polio syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and golf and tennis injuries just to name a few.

Here's what some of my Patients had to say:

"My jaw on the right side stopped popping after the 1st Advanced CNS Restoration treatment. After the four treatments, almost all of my pain is gone, left side of jaw is much improved. We were very pleased with the results. It was worth everything we went through to get it, even the 16 hours total of driving in from out of town."

K. Hardy June 6, 1997 Tyler, Texas

"After the first day I could feel a noticeable change. The clicking, popping, and tension were 80% gone. Each day things continue to improve. I'm looking forward to more Advanced CNS Restoration until I'm 100% again."

D. Nelson September 13, 2002 Loveland, Colorado

"After just one Advanced CNS Restoration treatment, my "vise grip" was gone! After my third treatment, I was able to open my mouth completely with no pain or clicking."

M. Daugherty December 19, 2002 Denver, Colorado

"Twenty three years ago an automobile accident left me with broken facial bones. Since then I have only been able to breathe through my mouth. I used pressurized oxygen to sleep at night. After my second Advanced CNS Restoration treatment, my sinuses cleared. For the first time in over two decades I could breathe freely through my nostrils without any blockage. After my last treatment, I woke up and my jaws felt strange. I opened my mouth wide--wider than I've been able to open my mouth in over twenty years. I have ceased my incessant teeth grinding, my jaw is relaxed, and the tension in my face is gone. My mind has cleared as a result."

Michael John Rood Duluth, Minnesota

"After three days of two treatments each day, I can now open my mouth wider, there is no longer the constant pain, and the pain I have when opening my mouth widely has been reduced by 80%."

B. Martin July 10, 2003 Paola, Kansas

"I have suffered with migraine headaches for the past 46 years. There is not a conventional medical treatment that I have not tried at least once. I have not had one migraine since I started the Advanced CNS Restoration treatment. I wish that I had learned of this procedure years ago. To quote my wife, You now have a life."

D. Holder Dallas, Texas

You know, every day patients come to me and thank me for "curing" them of this and that, but I have a confession. My confession is that I don't cure anyone of anything. I never have. What I do is perform Advanced CNS Restoration and the body responds by healing itself.

Look, There are a lot of "experts" out there who know nothing about TMJ, but give people a lot of "advise" and a lot of misinformation. But you know the truth always seems to win out. People are coming to us because they are sick and tired of just having their symptoms covered up with drugs.

Great care at a great fee…

My qualifications…I attended Texas Tech University before finishing my Doctorate at Texas Chiropractic College. I have published a book called "Say Goodbye to TMJ and Migraine Headaches".

I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to aging parents and have even had patients travel from as far as Toronto, Canada; Calgary, Alberta, Canada; Vienna, Austria; Jakarta, Indonesia; Colorado, Texas, Georgia, Wyoming, Wisconsin, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, California, New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Illinois, Minnesota, and Oklahoma to get help for their TMJ and Headaches.

After practicing in Dallas, Texas for sixteen years, I moved my practice to Denver in 2000.

Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home. We can help you with your TMJ and Headaches.

"The TMJ Problem"

For most people, the problem starts with clicking of the jaw and then jaw pain and they go to the dentist. He then tells them that they have TMJ and are grinding their teeth and that their jaw joint is deteriorating. He will then tell you that he does not specialize in TMJ and will suggest going to a dentist who treats TMJ a lot.

The TMJ "specialist" will re-examine your jaw and make impressions of your teeth. He may even make a model of your jaw so that he can measure the movement (translation) of the joint. Then a custom mouth guard or splint is made that you have to wear at night or 24 hours per day for six months to two years.

When the splint does not help, then braces are recommended for a year or two. Some dentists will try to grind the teeth down to match your bite better thinking that the bad bite is causing the TMJ. Sometimes surgery to break the jaw and re-align the bite is even tried. The costs for all this usually exceeds $50,000 plus these patients are still in pain after six years of "regular TMJ specialists" treatment.

Only 10%-25% of the patients get partial relief from this therapy.

I have discovered that TMJ is NOT caused by grinding your teeth or bad occlusion. The truth is that the compressed temporal and sphenoid bone is causing misalignment of the upper and lower jaw. Pressure on the Temporal bone and sphenoid bone are causing the upper jaw and roof of your mouth to become compressed. Then your jaw muscles begin the process called "splinting" and "accommodation". Typically, one side becomes very tight and the other side begins to pop and click.

My Advanced CNS Restoration approach is totally different. I have found that we can help 90% of the patients with TMJ within 12 months by using a combination of five major therapies and three minor therapies. So Far, I am the only doctor in the United States trained in all eight therapies.

There are no other doctors in the world who are using the combination of techniques that I use. So far I am the only doctor who has specialized in TMJ in North America who is using these EIGHT techniques. I have found that if I combine five major and three minor different TMJ techniques that I get faster and longer lasting results. They work together very well and the results last.

1. Nimmo Technique-deep muscle work along the spine developed by Dr. Ray Nimmo, a chiropractor, which breaks up lactic acid in the muscles and increases blood flow and oxygen thereby helping the muscles to relax.

2. Bowen (Neuro Structural Integration Technique)-Very light muscle work designed to relax the muscles of the spine, neck, face, and jaw even further so that they do not pull the bones back out of place. The Bowen work has its own protocol for helping the TMJ.. Developed by Tom Bowen of Australia who was an osteopathic type of therapist. It resets these muscles so that they do not pull the jaw back out of place.

3. Cranial Sutural Spread- regular cranial work that feels like I am massaging the scalp where the bones of the skull come together. This promotes the flow of the cerebro spinal fluid in and around the brain.

4. Crane Condyle Lift (levels one and two)-developed by three generations of chiropractors in the Crane family. It is designed to remove pressure off of the brain stem and TURN THE POWER BACK ON TO YOUR BRAIN. Dr. Virgil Crane is now retired.

5. Occipital Lift-very gentle lifting of the head with patient laying face up with light pressure laterally on the underside of the skull to increase blood flow to the brain by relaxing spasms in the "Vertebro/Basilar Artery" which supplies blood to the brain.

6. Reset jaw muscle (Masseter) spindle fibers-very gentle massage of the major jaw muscles that allow you to chew.

7. Advanced CNS Restoration-uses a small instrument that looks like what is used for "angioplasty". It is a blood pressure cuff with a finger cot (small balloon) attached that is placed into the nose (turbinate bones) and inflated with air for about 2 seconds. The balloon then opens the cartilage at the back of the nose and allows you to breathe better. It also "begins the process" of restoring the subtle motion of the skull bones that is supposed to happen when you breathe air in. The Advanced CNS Restoration therapy focuses on removal of pressure on the jaw and facial bones from the inside by restoring movement to these joints.

Recent research, done at my clinic in August 2004, has allowed for FINE TUNING of this “Advanced CNS Restoration”. (78 possible combinations of treatments) Get better quicker without over-treatment.

Click here for short video of the Advanced CNS Restoration procedure itself on an actual patient.

8. Atlanto/Occipital Restoration-(Ligament Resetting)-light pressure applied behind the ear (bottom of the skull) and to the upper bone in the neck while rotating your head throughout its range of motion during inspiration and expiration to reset and remove stress off of a VERY IMPORTANT ligament that acts like a guy wire to support the skull.

I have seen the TMJ get well many times by the use of Nimmo, Bowen Therapy (Neuro Structural Therapy), Cranial Sutural Spread, Crane Condyle Lift, Atlanto/Occipital Restoration, Masseter Muscle Spindle Restoration and Advanced CNS Restoration which each have their own method of correcting the TMJ.

The Soft tissue work is just as important as the NCR in correcting the underlying cause of the TMJ.

On the first day we do an exam which gives me a pretty accurate estimation of the length of time that is needed for your treatment (6-12 months). The most number of major points that can be jammed is six major places which means six series of treatments over six months (average for 7 out of 10 patients).

Most TMJ patients have all six major skull spots locked up and need 24 individual treatments. If you have six "compressed" skull sutures then it normally takes six series of four days of therapy spaced about one month apart. If you have five skull plates "locked" then it would take five series of four days spaced about a month apart. Four points "locked" equals four series.

Occasionally (for 2 out of 10 patients), the treatment may progress a little slower than the averages that I have quoted. We will know this on the first day after the exam.

"The Cause Of TMJ Dysfunction "

To understand the cause of TMJ dysfunction we need to start with the basics, at the beginning. Although this may appear too simplistic for a dentist, oral surgeon, TMJ specialist, family practitioner, or even a patient who has the condition and thinks that they know all about it. Please bear with me. The basic information is needed to understand the later concepts.

The jaw joint is also called the temporo-mandibular joint. It is where the lower jaw (mandible) meets or joins the upper jaw (maxilla) and head at the temple. Temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction is a very serious condition. It is extremely painful and annoying to the person who has it.

Problems with the TMJ usually begin during puberty and shortly afterward. It may not become apparent until after a car wreck, head injury, or long periods of high stress.

Symptoms of TMJ dysfunction are pain in one or both jaw joints. It also includes popping or clicking in one or both sides of the jaw joint. It may seem severe and constant or may appear to come and go. The person may be aware of constant tension in the jaw.

They will have an uneven bite even if they are not aware of it. Usually teeth grinding, called bruxism, is occurring at night causing uneven wear and tear on the teeth. It also results in locking of the jaw joint causing the patient to not be able to open their mouth completely. The pain from a TMJ condition may be mild, moderate, or severe. A TMJ condition does NOT go away without treatment. High stress leads to TMJ and TMJ conditions lead to irritability, and headaches.

The temporo-mandibular joint is basically a complicated hinge joint. It is capable of movement both up and down as well as some side to side motion to allow for chewing and grinding of food. The upper jaw is called the maxilla and is shaped like a horseshoe. The lower jaw is called the mandible and is also shaped like a horseshoe. The upper and lower jaw meet together in a hinge like joint just in front of the ear on each side of the head at the lower portion of the temples.

The normal functioning of the temporo-mandibular joint should be a smooth gliding like movement. The mouth should be able to open and the lower jaw drop straight up and down like a well oiled gate that does not squeak. It should also operate like a gate that has a well operating self closing mechanism.

Pain, popping, and clicking of the jaw joint occurs when the upper jaw is more narrow in the back than the lower jaw causing the lower jaw to not connect evenly with the upper jaw. This also results in a jaw joint that opens and closes like a rusty gate. Not only does it make noises but it takes more effort to push and pull it open and closed. Teeth grinding (bruxism) is looked at as a problem because it causes uneven wear and tear on the teeth. It also causes teeth to chip and break. However, this is the body’s method of unlocking the TMJ.

Next we move from our basic knowledge that the jaw is like two horseshoes to the next step. All bone is living tissue. It is alive and growing. It is somewhat flexible and bendable. It is capable of repair when it is broken. Especially during puberty, the jaw and head are growing longer and larger. As the brain grows larger, the skull plates have to enlarge to allow the brain to grow. If the skull partially fuses before the brain finishes growing or the skull plates become locked or jammed due to injuries then the brain becomes compressed and begins to dehydrate.

All growth and nerve function are then slowed down and cease to function properly. Brain function becomes abnormally slow because blood flow to the brain is decreased. The upper and lower jaws have to grow and lengthen in order for the teeth to have room to come in. When the teeth come in crooked it is a sure sign that the bones of the face are not symmetrical and the joints of the many small bones of the face have become locked and jammed. It is also a sign that the jaw and head are not growing fast quick enough. When wisdom teeth do not have room to come in it is another sign that the skull and jaw are behind in their growth rate. The rate of growth of the head, jaw, and all the bones of the body is directly dependent on the amount of growth hormone available.

Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland sits behind the bridge of the nose even with the temples. Proper flow of spinal fluid and blood to this section of the brain is required for the pituitary to produce growth hormone in a proper and timely manner. Good blood supply to the pituitary gland is also required to ensure proper production of growth hormone. Trauma to the head slows down the flow of the fluid in the brain called "cerebro spinal fluid" by resulting in locking or jamming of the face bones. When the flow of the spinal fluid slows down, then the pituitary gland begins to dry out and shrivel up. This causes wrinkles in your face and you begin to age faster and lose elasticity of your skin. Menstrual problems also develop.

Both sides of the face and skull should be symmetrical or identical. They seldom are. The eyes should be the same size and shape. The nose should be straight. The cheekbones should not be depressed. The forehead should be rounded not flat. The ears should be level (they seldom are) and the mouth should be symmetrical especially when you have a relaxed smile.

If you stand in front of a mirror and imagine drawing a line down the middle of your face, what differences do you see? Do your two front upper teeth line up with your two front lower teeth? These small differences are all outward indications of internal injuries and restrictions of the growth process.

Unless you are in the medical field, the only bones that you have ever seen are dead bones. These bones are dead and dry and hard. They do not bend. Live bones however, have some degree of flexibility (kind of like a Popsicle stick). Live bones are not hard and dry. When live bones are placed under tension the bone itself actually changes shape. The bones then remodels itself and extra bone cells travel to the area of tension in order to strengthen that area, just like when a broken bone is healing.

Now we are ready to move to the next level of understanding about the TMJ.

There are many bones in the face, head, and jaw. The major bones of the skull are the frontal (forehead) (1), parietals (top sides of head) (2), temporals (2), and occiput (back of head)(1) and sphenoid (1).

Next, there are many small bones of the face. These include the cheekbones (zygomatic arch) which are actually made up of three separate bones which never completely fuse. These small bones allow for very small subtle movements of the skull when we breathe in and out. As we breath, our sinuses alternately fill and empty with air. These sinuses can still be seen even in a dead skull. The nose is made up of lots of cartilage along with many small bones. These allow for more movement. As mentioned before; behind the nose, cheekbones, and forehead are sinuses that alternately fill and empty with air every time we breathe. This causes small amounts of expansion of the head each time that we breathe. Any injury to the head which restricts the movement of any of these bones results in shallow breathing. Shallow breathing is unhealthy.

Once you’ve mastered this information, the next step is to get a picture of the inside of the skull. This is the most important part, yet I will keep it simple. Inside the skull are two bones that look like big boulders. They contain the inner and middle ear. These bones are thick and hard. Towards the sides and front of the head are the most important bones of all as far as TMJ sufferers are concerned and they are called the temporal bone and the sphenoid bone. The sphenoid bone is shaped like a butterfly with it’s wings outstretched. It is more important than the lower jaw itself or the temporo-mandibular joint as far as your pain is concerned. The sphenoid bone connects the left side of the head to the right side of the head. When the sphenoid is not level then your ears are not level. The sphenoid looks and acts like a flexible three dimensional see-saw.

When the sphenoid is under pressure it becomes twisted. When the sphenoid bone becomes twisted out of its normal position then the upper jaw (maxilla) becomes twisted because the two bones are connected. The roof of the mouth then becomes compressed and bends upward to form a high arch or one portion of the roof of the mouth will slide like the "tectonic plates " of the earth one over the other. [If you rub your thumb across the roof of your mouth then you may be able to feel a slight distortion down the midline of the roof of your mouth.]

The twisting of the sphenoid causes pressure on the upper jaw causing it to become more narrow in the back. The upper jaw then feels like it has been clamped into a vise. The lower jaw will respond by bending with the upper jaw as long as it can. The upper jaw finally becomes so twisted and under so much pressure that the lower jaw begins to pop and click out of position.

"A twisted sphenoid bone is the source of your TMJ pain. This can be corrected with 6-12 months of treatment."

Sincerely,

Dr. Jim McCarty, D.C. 720-200-9317

Frequently Asked Questions

TMJ is not new and there is a solution that works to give long term results. Splints, braces, physical therapy, and surgery do not get to the root of the problem. The only problem is that the dentists are only using what they have been taught in school and are not up to date on the new research of what is working.

I do not do surgery! I am not a dentist or an oral surgeon. I am a chiropractor with special training on "TMJ and Advanced CNS Restoration".

There is NO NEED for you to be in such pain. Most of my patients begin to see results and begin to feel better with the first 8 treatments (two series).

The first day, I would examine your skull not with x-rays, CAT Scans, and MRIs, but with my hands and also with specific Orthopedic/Neurologic Reflex tests that are designed to show me how fast your brain is reacting to gravity and how quickly the left side of your brain is talking to the right side of your brain.

The examination will reveal how many and which of your sutures and skull plates are locked up in the wrong position and will indicate how many series of treatment that you need. These tests tell me which areas of YOUR brain are dryer than they should be and are causing pressure to build up inside the spinal fluid and are causing YOUR TMJ. This is all done by physical examination of the head. (No costly MRI or Cat Scan or X-rays)

Correcting your Muscle Spasms and TMJ would be a PROCESS...not an overnight cure as I'm sure that you are aware.

I tell patients that They Will Not "LIKE" The Treatment But That They Will "LOVE" The Results.

After I examine your skull to find out how many of the skull plates are locked up, then we begin treatment.

First I do the deep muscle work, then the light muscle work from Australia, then the massage of the skull plates along the sutures, then I remove pressure on the brain stem, and finally I place a little instrument with a balloon in your nose and put air into it for 2 seconds. The air in the balloon will move the bones (incrementally) into their correct position.

Half of the people that I work with say that it feels like they jumped into the pool and got water up their nose (uncomfortable but not a big deal). The other half say that it feels like very intense pressure and hurts for the 2 seconds. They even hear the cartilage and small bones in the nose move and say that is sounds like velcro being pulled apart (uncomfortable but tolerable because it is only for 2 seconds).

Each series of treatments is four days and the treatments are “normally” scheduled about a month apart. Each patient is different and in certain circumstances the treatments should be done closer together.

Treatments last about an hour in the beginning (maybe 1 1/2 hours) and a little less as time goes on. I actually spend about 30 minutes with each patient. The treatments are four days in a row and then we usually wait four weeks before doing more therapy in order to allow the spinal fluid to begin to do its work.

Insurance usually covers at 70% if we use a diagnosis of "Headaches" and AVOID the diagnosis of "TMJ". After all, the pain that you are feeling is in your head. This keeps the coverage under Major Medical and Chiropractic instead of under Dental insurance.

We usually have about 6-8 TMJ patients per week that we work with and we could handle about 10 per week so getting in with about a week or two notice is USUALLY no problem but some weeks are booked more solid than others.

During the last seven years, I have combined Five Major and Three minor different "non-surgical" therapies that are completely curing the TMJ for 80% of the patients within six months.

20% of the patients are requiring 12 months of therapy because of extenuating circumstances such as “scarring and dehydration” within the Central Nervous System (Brain and Spinal Cord) from severe tailbone injuries or from severe viral infections in the past.

About "one out of 50" people have a slight nosebleed. They blow their nose 2-3 times and it stops. About "one out of 200" will have more of a nose bleed and we then have to use smaller balloons and "baby" them a bit. [This may extend the average length of treatment to longer than six months as we allow the blood vessels time to rehydrate.]

For some people, Emotional trauma from past experiences may occasionally surface during the treatment and this can extend the original estimation of length of treatment.

As I unlock the skull bones and remove the pressure on the brain, the circulation to the brain is increased and your memory will improve. About "one out of fifty" people have old memories that contain old emotional issues that were suppressed. If you are one of these people who has suffered a lot of “victim abuse” then your subconscious will process this old emotional trauma usually in one week or less. Then you will feel much lighter but you may have a good cry during that day or two while your brain processes the old emotional baggage.

For the majority of people we are able to restore the proper flow of the spinal fluid and get rid of the TMJ in six months or less.

There are no other doctors in the world who are using the combination of techniques that I use. I have found that if I combine five major and three minor different TMJ techniques that I get faster and longer lasting results.

So far I am the only doctor who has specialized in TMJ who is using these EIGHT techniques. They work together very well and the results last.

2. Bowen (Neuro Structural Integration Technique)-Very light muscle work designed to relax the muscles of the spine, neck, and face even further so that they do not pull the bones back out of place. The Bowen work has its own protocol for helping the TMJ.. Developed by Tom Bowen of Australia who was an osteopathic type of therapist.

5. Cranial Lift-very gentle lifting of the head with patient laying face up with light pressure laterally on the underside of the skull to increase blood flow to the brain by relaxing spasms in the "Vertebro/Basilar Artery" which supplies blood to the brain.

6. Reset jaw muscle (Masseter) spindle fibers-very gentle massage of the major jaw muscles that allow you to chew.

It also "begins the process" of restoring the subtle motion of the skull bones that is supposed to happen when you breathe air in. Recent research, done at my clinic in August 2004, has allowed for FINE TUNING of this “Advanced CNS Restoration”.

Atlanto/Occipital Restoration-(Ligament Resetting)-light pressure applied behind the ear (bottom of the skull) and to the upper bone in the neck while rotating your head throughout its range of motion during inspiration and expiration to remove stress off of a VERY IMPORTANT ligament that acts like a guy wire to support the skull.

I have seen the TMJ correct itself many times by the use of Nimmo, Bowen Therapy (Neuro Structural Therapy), Cranial Sutural Spread, Crane Condyle Lift, Atlanto/Occipital Restoration, Masseter Muscle Spindle Restoration and Advanced CNS Restoration which each have their own method of correcting the TMJ.

The Soft tissue work is just as important as the NCR in correcting the underlying cause of the TMJ.

The cost of treatment will vary according to the number of skull plates that are locked up. The average length of time needed for 7 out of 10 patients is one four day series of treatments for each of the six major skull plates that are "locked up".

The exam is $250.00 and the first four days of treatment are $750.00. That includes the all four days of the “Soft Tissue Work” and all four days of the Advanced CNS Restoration. Each additional series is $750.00.

The worst case scenario for 70% of the TMJ patients would be that all six major plates are locked and therefore six series of treatments would be needed. That would cost a total of $4,750.00 spread out over six months.

About 20% of the TMJ patients have extenuating circumstances that require slightly more treatments. Advanced CNS Restoration is not a panacea treatment that gets rid of every ache or pain from head to toe.

Most of our patients get reimbursed 70% from their insurance companies. Each four day series is paid for when it is received.

The cerebro Spinal Fluid acts like hydraulic fluid and once the locked up skull joints are unlocked then the spinal fluid begins to push the bones and cartilage into their proper position. They tend to stay in the right place unless you receive a new injury or if you are under lots of stress.

It is the combination of these five major and three minor techniques that gives our clinic its high success rate. This means quicker pain relief and less money out of your pocket in the long run. The “Soft Tissue Work” allows the NCR to correct the TMJ quicker with less visits.

Our clinic is in Denver, Colorado and is the only TMJ Clinic in the United States that uses these EIGHT techniques. I am the ONLY doctor in the United States trained in all these therapies. We have a 80% success rate in getting rid of TMJ in six months. It Is Correctable!!!

About 3/4 of my patients are from "out of state". They drive or fly into Denver. About 90% of them stay at the hotel directly across the street from my clinic. They give our patients a discounted rate of $40.00 per night. Ramada Inn.

The patients stay for 4 days and do four treatments in four days. Each treatment lasts about one hour. In the beginning closer to 1 1/2 hours each.

The sinuses and the skull plates themselves shift with barometric pressure.

Also brain chemistry is playing a role.

Advanced CNS Restoration helps to normalize brain chemistry by removing the abnormal pressure of the skull that is compressing various lobes of the brain.

There are four lobes of the brain. Each one makes a different type of brain chemical and each lobe has a specific brain wave associated with it. [Alpha, Beta, Delta, Theta] The frontal lobe and the parietal lobes act like an accelerator to make the brain to work faster. The temporal lobes and the occipital lobe act like a brake to help the brain organize information and rest.

The frontal lobe makes a chemical called "dopamine". This makes the brain work faster and keeps you awake and alert. It also helps you to feel like you can overcome any obstacle or challenge in your life. This chemical can become depleted when people take cocaine and amphetamines and when people are not exercising and when they are under stress.

The temporal lobes make a chemical called "G.A.B.A. (GAMA AMINO BUTYRIC ACID) which helps you to deal with stress and balances the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Without enough of this chemical, your brain will feel like sparklers or firecrackers are going off inside the brain. This is the nerves of your brain not getting the proper message to the correct portion of your brain. Therefore your body does not respond when and how you want it to.

The parietal lobes make a chemical called "acetylcholine". This helps your memory and is how one nerve sends a nerve impulse to another nerve. Without enough acetylcholine the brain slows down and cannot communicate fast enough with your muscles. The left side of your brain cannot communicate fast enough with the right side of your brain causing chaos in your brain and throughout your body.

The occiput makes serotonin which also helps us to rest and sleep along with sexual functioning. It also deals with stress, digestion, and ability to let your mind rest and not race.

Day to day stresses can "burn up" these chemicals faster than you can make them especially when the skull plates are "locked".

We are finding that the work that I do Advanced CNS Restoration to unlock the skull plates makes a direct improvement on brain chemistry. In fact, the quickest way to normalize brain chemistry is to unlock the skull plates so that the cerebro spinal fluid can flow properly and rehydrate the brain. As pressure is released at each skull suture, the blood flow increases, memory improves, and pain decreases. Once the skull plates are unlocked, then you need to finish balancing your brain chemistry through diet and exercise as explained in the book called "The Edge Effect".

"The Edge Effect" is a very good book written by an MD that is written in plain English for the non medically trained person. It will give you other clues about things that you can do to improve your health problems.

My intention is to help heal as many patients as I can. Although I have had remarkable success using Advanced CNS Restoration to help very difficult cases, I am not allowed to make guarantees. Each patient and each situation is different. If you continue to treat TMJ with the traditional approach, then you will get traditional results. My approach using Advanced CNS Restoration is quite different and effective. Dr. Jim McCarty, D.C.
