Concussions And Jaw Joint Injuries
NEW IMAGING TECHNOLOGY REVEALS FRACTURES AT THE BASE OF THE SKULL IN THE AREA OF
THE
JAW JOINT.
Headaches, Concussions, Migraines and Temporomadibular joint pains.
Many Headaches, Concussions, Migraines and Temporomadibular joint (TMJ) pains can
now be correlated with fractures occurring in the jaw joint which are misdiagnosed
and overlooked in health care today. These fractures now can be revealed with the
new Digital imaging and Cone Beam technology invented by Dr. Edward Williams; once
revealed, these fractures can be rehabilitated and the patient can be given back
the quality of life lost by the onset of the headaches and other cognitive symptoms.
- Head injuries or concussions caused by sports, auto accidents, falling, victims
of violence and the like, can fracture the delicate bones in jaw joint space.
- Without proper digital imaging diagnosis of these fractures, one will suffer from
many of the cognitive symptoms (listed below) long after the traumatic event.
- Early detection and treatment of these fractures promotes a more rapid recovery
to a pain free state.
FYI: The following is a list of the cognitive symptoms frequently associated
with jaw joint fractures and concussions;
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Mood swings
- Memory loss
- Mental confusion
- Sleep disturbance
- Ringing in the ear
- Behavioral changes
- Facial and Jaw pains
- Loss of concentration
- Poor Dental occlusion
- Personality variations
- Impairment in judgment
- Intellectual difficulties
|
- Impaired chewing ability
- Migraine-like headache
- Teeth clenching episodes
- Impaired sense of balance
- The physical loss of strength
- Impaired lower jaw movements
- Severe headaches and vomiting
- Pulsating pains behind eyes
- Post-traumatic stress disorders
- Non-specific teeth and facial pain
- More impulsive and hostile behavior
- Clicking sounds when opening mouth
- Extreme sensitivity to light and noise
- Stress and exercise induced headache

Healing the jaw joint fractures (TMJ fractures) at the base of the skull correlates
with the resolution of many cognitive symptoms
Head Trauma in Sports
These traumatic head blows will cause concussions and fractures of delicate bones
of jaw joint space. These fractures have been overlooked, ignored and misdiagnosed
in sports.
Head Trauma in auto accidents; Understand, lower jaw is no attached to skull
and moves independently
These impact forces of auto accidents cause concussions and fracture the delicate
bones at the base of the skull in the area of the jaw joint.
Having sustained these kinds of head injuries and suffering from any of the cognitive
symptoms listed, it is its most important to have a new digital imaging and cone
beam evaluation to assess or rule out fractures of jaw joint complex
Using the new imaging and cone beam technology to better understand the injury of
concussion.

IN SUMMARY: THERE ARE TWO COMPONENTS OF CONCUSSUON INJURIES.
- The soft tissue injury of the brain; the metabolic component of concussions, the widely recognized and treatment module of neurology.
- b. Fractures of the bone supporting the base of the brain in the area of the jaw joint space; the structural component of concussions. The fractures of the structural component of concussions can now be identified by the use of the new digital imaging and cone beam technology.
In the multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of concussions, we can no longer ignore the possibility of the fracture to the thin bones supporting the base of the brain in the jaw joint space. This structural component of concussion injury must be evaluated and identified in the early treatment protocol of concussions.

Recapturing the joys and the quality of life often lost by the onset of headaches and facial
pains by rehabilitating or healing of these fractures.

Life without headaches, facial pain and medication.
