Greg is from Scottsdale, Arizona. He owns a successful gym helping athletes among others to achieve high performance. He has worked in the fitness space for decades.

Greg had an injury to the jaw while playing hockey 15 years ago and ever since has been suffering from severe fatigue and brain fog. He had consulted with over 40 doctors – physicians and dentists to improve his health. In that journey, he had Vivos DNA appliance therapy to improve his upper jaw form. Later had Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion, braces, tongue tie surgery, myofunctional therapy, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, nasal septoplasty to correct a deviated septum, nasal valve surgery. While he had some improvements in being able to breathe better, his fatigue and brain fog continued.

Dr Raman’s clinical examination confirmed that Greg had jaw alignment “TMJ” problems and that is the likely root cause of his many symptoms even beyond the jaw.

Greg went through detailed diagnostic tests including our unique "Raman CCMD Protocol" of Physiologic Neuro Muscular Dental (PNMD) procedure to determine the optimal jaw and neck alignment. Balance tests revealed that his postural compensations were primarily due to the jaw alignment. So that linked his jaw problem to whole body symptoms such as fatigue.

All the findings and options for treatment were reviewed during the consultation prior to starting phase 1 treatment. He was then fitted with a physiologic neuromuscular fixed orthotic for 90 days as a reversible phase 1 treatment. This is both a therapeutic and diagnostic step. Even though phase 1 fixed orthotic is only on the lower teeth, like teeth extensions to make up for the jaw alignment discrepancy, there needs to be enough of an improvement of symptoms to give the patient confidence to go forward with treatment or to give up and reverse course.

Greg started noticing improvements very quickly – even with 4 days. This is one of the important reasons that we use a PNM Fixed orthotic. It is correcting the jaw alignment truly 24/7, every second of the day. Of course, the key is how accurately the jaw / neck alignment was diagnosed first. That is the alignment that the fixed orthotic maintains.

Within 90 days of Phase 1 PNM Fixed orthotic, all of his symptoms were improving significantly.

Reviewed top symptoms and level of improvement 1. Fatigue - 60%. 2. Brain fog - 60%. 3. Visual overload - 60-70%. Strength and endurance have improved by 100%.

Performed muscle palpations and recorded 2/44 painful points with a pain score of 6/132 vs 22/44 painful points with a pain score of 64/132 pre op. Checked cranio-cervical range of motion 90 degrees to the right and 90 degrees to the left vs 2 degrees to the right and 2 degrees to the left pre op.

Greg was happy to get significant relief of his symptoms with phase 1. He chose to have Neuromuscular Functional Orthopedics and Orthodontics as his Phase 2 option. We will further improve his upper jaw form and move his lower teeth along with their bone and gum support to meet the upper teeth over time to maintain his optimal jaw and neck position for life time

#ReasonForMyPassion for treating #TMD/ #CCMD and teaching PNMD Physiologic Neuro Muscular Dentistry is being able to help nice people get their quality of life back.
The #PowerOfPNMD to help resolve so many disabling symptoms continues to amaze me.
