Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ), Cranio-Dental and Skeletal Asymmetries Link to Common Illnesses 

Attempts to correct Cranio-mandibular and Skeletal Asymmetries has resulted in relief to patients’ symptoms where other disciplines have failed dismally. Patients often present with a variety of complaints including: neck pain, jaw pain, headaches, backache, irritable bowel syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, incontinence, limb pain or numbness, various psychological problems, sinusitis, dizziness, ear problems etc.

Treatment to bring about symmetry becomes a medical necessity; embarking on such a course of action (by no means easy to accomplish), patients often experience a dramatic relief from their symptoms.

The ramifications of a dysfunctional jaw are numerous, with many examples frequently encountered. In one example, a patient presented with a massive debilitating tremour previously attributed to “lesions in the descending neural pathways from the brain”; however the tremor ceased instantaneously as soon as the patients’ TMJ was corrected. Others have what are called horrendous ‘neuropathic’ pains again attributed to ‘MS’, which even morphine couldn’t touch, but the patients obtained almost immediate relief by instigating a correction of their bodily asymmetries.

Temporo-mandibular Joint Dysfunction

It is my calculated conclusion after 20 years’ practice of seeing many patients suffering from all kinds of illnesses that a majority of illnesses including ME/CFS, MS, FM may have a lot to do with TMJ dysfunction. A TMJ dysfunction check up at the outset of any illness is imperative for an optimal outcome. TMJ pain and tooth grinding occur because the patients’ jaw does not sit happily in the joint which articulates with the skull -  the consequence of a physical asymmetry in the jaws and teeth and the mismatch of the upper and lower jaw relationships. This is not caused by 'stress' nor is it due to some other 'mental' cause. The opposite; experience shows that many pains, organic disturbances and mental symptoms are a consequence of this asymmetry.

Contrary to common belief, our body does not adapt to asymmetry. Incorrect jaw position may result in headaches, later it may go on to cause neck ache, backache, and later still leg pains and hip problems in old age may ensue. The scenario may follow a different pathway causing fatigue and gut symptoms. It would be quite wrong for any health carer not to include TMJ dysfunction in their differential diagnosis for literally any health problem where they fail to find a quick solution. Manipulation of the neck and Sacro-iliac joint week after week, month after month or continuing to dispense analgesics, anti-psychotics, and nutritional supplements etc. in the absence of a proper symmetry examination is mercenary. Our bodies are very self-healing once attention is given to dealing with the actual cause of the malady which is most often - an asymmetry of the structure.

Regaining symmetry is the key component.

Northern College of Acupuncture: MSc Advanced Oriental Medicine; MSc Advanced Complementary Medicine 

TCM and Complementary Therapy Practitioners

The College has been teaching MSc courses since 1995 and has an international reputation for its commitment to research.  Practitioners can extend and deepen their understanding, develop their practice and research skills. The Northern College of Acupuncture in York, UK,  is currently developing two new online only *MSc courses: MSc in Advanced Oriental Medicine (research and practice) for acupuncture  and TCM practitioners and an MSc in Advanced Complementary Medicine (research and practice) for complementary therapy practitioners.

Peggy Welch MSc PhD DipCN LMT and Mel Koppelman MSc

These new online only MSCs are a 3-year part-time post-graduate programme for practitioners holding a first degree (or equivalent).  The flexible e-learning programmes can be undertaken whilst still practising and teaching and is delivered online via the College’s well-developed e-learning platform. The pre-recorded e-learning sessions are punctuated with live interactive online video conferencing workshops, where students interact with each other and their tutors. Modules will include choices including Innovative Business Development and Advanced Therapeutic Relationships, plus a module that students can design themselves to develop a specialist interest.  With its on-line only delivery, this course will be accessed by students from all around the world, further enriching the experience for all. Some modules have a stand-alone option so that practitioners may participate for CPD hours rather than degree credits. They can also choose to transfer the credits into the full MSc at a later date, making it possible to take this course at their own pace.

Course Director Peggy Welch MSc PhD DipCN LMT says: “Truly inspired research is more likely to come from practitioners as they are best placed to ask the right questions; but practitioners must also learn the skills necessary for good research in order to complete projects that will stand up to scrutiny. With this in mind, NCA are developing online MScs that practitioners can do while they continue to work, so that it is no longer necessary to choose between work and study.  This flexible,  e-learning course is also designed so that students can incorporate the topics that are important to them!  Students will get the opportunity to research that is  important to them and their clients, to develop their ideas, and add to their professional knowledge.” 

NCA MSc graduate Mel Koppelman says: “I found the MSc research program at the Northern College of Acupuncture to be user friendly, supportive and professional. My supervisor was a professional researcher herself and an expert in my chosen study design; the insights and support I got from her were world class and made producing a dissertation much more than an ‘academic exercise’.  The research program itself was extremely flexible and easy to incorporate into my life.”

Migra-Cap for Migraine Relief

The Migra Cap®, unique amongst migraine treatments,  combines cold therapy and complete darkness to provide relief from the pain associated with a migraine and most types of headaches. A migraine is a throbbing, intense headache in one half of the head which can affect people of all ages. During an attack, the blood vessels in the brain dilate and then draw together with stimulation of nerve endings near the affected blood vessels. These changes to the blood vessels are probably what cause the pain; migraine headaches are poorly understood.

Typical Features of Migraine?

People often use the word migraine to refer to headaches of many different types. So-called classical migraine attacks have several features:

• Headaches that occur in bouts of between roughly 4 to 72 hours;
• The headaches usually affect one side of the head at a time, although both sides may be affected in separate attacks;
• The headaches are usually throbbing and worsened by normal physical activity nausea and/or vomiting;
• Preceding symptoms, called the 'aura' that most often are visual, such as zigzag lines or flashing lights across or at the edges of the fields of vision;
• Other symptoms can include sensitivity to light and sound, or non-visual aura such as a sensation of tingling in the body.

The Lycra cap covers the whole of the head area, and is filled with specially formulated gel packs strategically positioned to target the areas of the head affected by pain. Ergonomically designed for maximum comfort the breathable, flexible Lycra material enables the cap to fit all head shapes. A 'cut-away' in the material allows users with long hair to pull the hair through for maximum comfort. Migra-Cap can be stored in a domestic fridge or freezer and the specially formulated gels ensure that Migra-Cap will not freeze to a solid.

Drug Free Relief

Migra-Cap® helps to relieve pain and suffering by limiting exposure to the key elements that can prolong or enhance a migraine attack. Remedies that utilize drugs such as Aspirin, Paracetemol and Butalbital can cause side effects, consumption issues or even produce allergic reactions. More powerful painkillers eg Paramax, Migramax, Domperamol can require strict dosage guidelines and are often expensive to purchase.

Migra-Cap® for Sports, Children and Pregnancy and Period Pains

Migra-Cap® can help to relieve pain and swelling caused by many types of sports injuries and can aid with the treatment and relief of pain, blows to the head and concussions. The cooling effect can aid in the reduction of swelling and can help limit post-concussion swelling or brain injury. Migra-Cap® can also be worn by children, providing relief for headaches, falls or fevers without the need to medicate. Migra-Cap has also proved successful in trials where over 81% of women found that it was an effective method of migraine relief. Migra-Cap can also assist in the relief of pregnancy and period pains.

RRP: Paperback £32 ... ebook £15.99

In his mind-body-spirit autobiography John Hendry trawls his seventy years and comes up with significant experiences that trigger insights and reflections.   Alongside these are wondrous illustrations illuminating his travels in Libya under Gaddafi and India, epigrams that are occasionally Wildean - “A cynic is someone who sees through everything and therefore sees nothing”. Hilarious adventures  in radio and TV, haiku poetry, artwork - “For people like me who can’t draw” -  and memorable street scenes born of his rejection of “the infernal combustion engine” in favour of life as a militant pedestrian. But this read is anything but pedestrian.

John Hendry’s Life and Soul Bares His Soul ... And His Multi-Faceted Life. Actor, writer, broadcaster, John Hendry - now in his third age just writer – has a degree in Philosophy and English with experience as a Samaritan, a counsellor with MIND, and a spiritual healer.  These days he lives with his art psychotherapist wife, Anthea, as a vegetarian peasant with an allotment in the Yorkshire Dales from where he sends monthly mind-body-spirit Newsletters to readers worldwide.

A few of the many other topics:  kundalini, anima, forgiveness, meditation, a year in Gaddafi’s Libya, a month in India, and How to slow time down.

“With our awareness of the elemental beings of our organs we open up spiritual spaces in our consciousness, spaces for new things to happen. This can lead to miracles – although we should not actively expect them.” Ewald Kliegel

Your organs have an inherent knowledge of their role within your body, and a spiritual aspect to their purpose in life. Let Your Body Speak will help the reader to change their perspective and experience the mystery of their body in a more intuitive way, open to impressions, aware of the soul speaking.

The book provides a deeper understanding of the wider psychological function of each organ, including eyes, hands, hips, knees, shoulders, spine, and teeth, and explains how they act in concert within the body. Beautifully illustrated, each organ conveys to the reader and individual message, meditations and a chart of healing crystals corresponding to each organ offer the reader further information on how to interact with their body on an energetic level. Your organs want to be perceived as spiritual and physical base elements of your being, as elemental beings! Perfect harmony, balance and beauty: this is what they mirror to you.
