Craniofacial Orthopaedics

Craniofacial orthopaedics is an interdisciplinary concept in diagnosing and treating muscle and joint diseases.

The skeletal system suffers severely from anomalies of the jaw and incorrect posture, which is especially an issue for the youth, as detecting these early can lead to addressing the issue early and liberating them from pain in the future.

There are many influencers which can lead to incorrect postures, such as

  • Native habits
  • Accidents, injuries
  • Nutritional errors
  • Hormonal disturbances

Our body has developed itself into a system, where any deviation of the norm activates a regulatory action with the aim to bring everything back into order. The body is strained with the length of these deviations existing in the body, meaning that more energy is needed for the corrections; energy which could be used elsewhere.

This disharmony often manifests itself in the form of chronic pains of any sorts, resulting in the fact that they should be viewed as a warning sign indicating that there is a need for change and demanding a reassessment of the individual’s lifestyle and dietary habits.

How do changes of the musculoskeletal system develop?

Genetic dispositions are at the base of how the musculoskeletal system works and can be influenced through external and internal factors. Since our body is controlled rationally, which means that areas which are used regularly are supported, and those which are only needed sporadically broken down, leading to certain areas being developed better than others.

Muscle cells are connected with the connective tissue, which is full of vessel leading anything throughout the whole body. If the connected issue is overloaded, the system is changed, as since everything is linked, a change in one area of the body has an effect on another.


How is the head and jaw area linked to the rest of the body?

The jaw is connected to the skill with connective tissue and is linked to throat, occipital and neck muscles. This results in dysfunctions and malposition in the head-jaw-facial area, which can affect the musculoskeletal system and vice versa.
