Abstract

The normal physiologic tension of the TMJ muscles, fascia, ligaments, and associated structures is critical for the health of children. Pathologic strain patterns in the soft tissues can be a primary cause of headaches, neckaches, throat infections, ear infections, sinus congestion, and asthma. This article presents effective diagnostic and treatment modalities from both dental and physical therapy viewpoints to relieve and restore normal physiology to the TMJ muscles, fascia, ligaments, and associated structures. As structural balance is restored, a nutritional component of therapy is strongly recommended for the child's optimum health.
