A craniofacial specialist has advanced training in understanding the complex interplay between the head, face, neck, and jaw. Conditions in these areas can be highly complicated and may require specialized manual techniques and exercise plans for effective treatment. Because these areas are interconnected, a problem in one—like jaw dysfunction—can lead to issues in another, such as neck pain.
This can also lead to secondary symptoms like headaches, caused by nerve compression in the upper cervical spine. A specialist can offer targeted treatment that takes these complexities into account.
