Dr. Ladesic, iHATEheadaches Blog

Many of you have seen a chiropractor or continue to see a chiropractor for the treatment of headaches and neck pain. Many patients that I treat have sought me out or have been referred by chiropractors that have come to understand that their well intentioned adjustments just don't hold for very long or at least long enough for you to feel that the problem has been corrected. I tell these patients and practitioners the problem is they have to "take the bite out of pain", like the old ad..."take a bite out of crime".
Immediately after an adjustment, especially a cervical(neck) adjustment, you will swallow. in fact you will swallow approximately 2000 times per day. If you have a normal swallow your teeth will come together. If your bite is not correctly aligned it will alter the posture of your head and begin to undo the chiropractic adjustment.
I would recommend working closely with a neuromuscular dentist to help correct your bite, coordinate treatment with your chiropractor and get long-lasting resolution to your problem.
If you or someone you know suffers from similar ear noise, headaches, or other TMJ related symptoms please contact me by email ( info@waterlooheights.com ) or call our office at 608-786-0909.

Is it someone in your life whose spark of life . . .(the joy) has gone out of their eyes? Do they seem to be in pain constantly? Are they crabby or short? Are they not as friendly or warm as they once were. . . or are they constantly on the move, but popping Advil, Alieve, Tylenol or even prescription medications? Do they brush off the mention of problems as just a part of living, just getting older or even worse . . . "that's just normal for me".

Could this person be the one that stares back at you from the mirror? Has your energy level been sapped by your attempts to deal with your frequent headaches, the incessant stiffness in your neck and shoulders? You don't sleep well. You don't feel rested even after a full night's sleep. You're tired of the pain, tired of the battle, tired of the doctors without answers.

Are you frustrated because you can't be the mother or father you need to be for your children, you can't be the spouse you'd like to be. Are you missing out in life?

If this is you or someone close to you, a spouse, a parent, a child, or a friend there is hope. As neuromuscular dentists we do not have all the answers, but we can help fill in pieces of the pain puzzle that others have missed.
