Structure Gets No Respect!
When thinking of "healthy actions" you can immediately take, nutrition gets the lions share of attention. We don't much think of the bodies structure relating to our health, yet structural form creates and holds the space for all internal functions to happen, unimpeded! The flow of blood, lymph, nerves and energy are all dependent on structural integrity.
Mouth Critical to Health
And, interestingly enough, the correct structure in the mouth is critical for the whole body. After the brain, the greatest concentration of the autonomic nervous system receptors are in the mouth and teeth. The fifth cranial nerve innervating the jaw, is the largest nerve in the body providing a direct connection to the brain. According to, The Cerebral Cortex of Man: (Macmillan, 1950) "The upper and lower jaw relationship affects over 50% of the body functions including motor and sensory action, blood supply to the brain, as well as lover-level electrical feedback from the body to the brain."
Good structure in the mouth means the upper and lower jaw, levered at the mandibular joint, can ably handle the bite force of chewing. Problems arises when the teeth are less and less able to handle the bite force from such occurrences as injury, tooth wear, grinding at night to regain air flow, tooth loss, and tooth "straightening" by orthodontists. Many dental procedures are done today, without knowledge of the importance of structural integrity in the mouth for optimal bite force.
Watch our interview with Dr. Shaker, D.C., to see if he shares our enthusiasm for the often unrecognized health benefits of a "reset" of the bite.
By being able to find and correct the structural elements in the mouth, and by eliminating toxicity from old root canals and mercury, this allows better functioning of the whole body; the organs, eyes, brain, movement, thinking, and walking. Take that nutrition! Structure IS important!

Health Formula - The Barriers to Health
| |
This Health Formula is to familiarize patients and staff alike with the barriers to health. These are the important categories, the large concerns that one needs to address to regain or maintain physical health. It is a useful tool to guide one's research and to evaluate the many available health options.
Our formula is:
S + N -T = Physical Health
Proper Structure + Good Nutrition - Toxicity = Physical Health
