TMJ AND POSTURAL DISORDERS: IMPROVEMENT AFTER USE OF A MICROCHIP

Abstract

Aim. Many patients with TMJ problems have made numerous visits from one physician to another; some have even been hospitalized by a neurologist and many patients never get correctly diagnosed. Several studies have identified impairments in postural control in patients with temporomandibular disorders. There are several methods to alleviate TMD, and some studies have suggested that it is possible to control the stomatognathic system and the musculoskeletal system through the “foot support”. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the variation produced by microchip in foot plantar in temporomandibular and postural disorders.
