Summary
Craniomandibular dysfunction is not always detected and the diagnosis is made randomly. The consequences can be complaints in the area of the jaw, head and neck. Physiotherapy, with its manual measures, can lead to a relaxation of muscular tension and straighten the joint.
The patient can also do something about the craniomandibular dysfunction himself. Depending on the cause, the right therapy can be prescribed.If possible, treatment should be sought to avoid aggravation. The cause should always be clarified, since craniomandibular dysfunction is a symptom of another dysregulation.
Here also the malposition of the dentition counts. If the teeth do not lie correctly on top of each other, the joint partners of the temporomandibular joint do not lie correctly on each other either and may shift over time. Especially if the tooth surfaces are abraded, a craniomandibular dysfunction should not be excluded.
