Dr. Forsberg's Santa Cruz Headache Blog

During last Monday Nights Football (MNF) game, Jon Gruden and the other TV announcers talked extensively about the improved athletic performance of the undefeated New Orleans Saints and the importance of a particular mouthguard in helping them to a 7-0 start to their season. This particular mouthguard is called the Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM) and only can be fabricated by dentists trained in Neuromuscular dentistry and and certified by Makkar PPM to deliver these athletic improving scientific mouthguards. A scientific study of the PPM has been done at Rutgers University to validate these claims.
The same bite that determines the positioning of the PPM Elite Mouthguard is used when providing a neuromuscular orthodic for patients suffering from headaches and other TMD/TMJ symptoms. Just as the patient suffering from headaches, neckaches, and dizziness feels much better with a neuromuscular orthodic, the athlete who is symptom free has greater strength, flexiblity and balance and will perform better. In Santa Cruz County and the Monterey Bay Area, Dr. Terry Forsberg has been delivering these mouthguards since their inception and the neuromuscular orthodics for years. Yesterday, the LA Times sports section had an article on the MNF game. Here is a link to that article: http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-nfl-farmer6-2009nov06,0,7429686.column. Dr. Forsberg will do a simple pen test which will show you how a better bite will probably help your headaches.

For those athletes who suffer from TMD, both the orthodic (worn 24/7) and the PPM (worn when they compete or work out) would be valuable!!
