Life is stressful. If you live, work and play in Bellevue Washington as I do you especially know this to be true. I was just driving in downtown Bellevue yesterday and the traffic made me tense and irritated. In our modern world stress comes in many forms, from job stress to family stress. All this stress is starting to takes its toll on our bodies and I see the signs of this every day in my chiropractic office. One problem that has a cause of stress is TMJ.

William Garner Sutherland D.O. (1873-1954). His 54 year epic journey began when, through Divine Providence, he noticed, that the cranial sutures of the temporal bones were “beveled like the gills of a fish” indicating the ability for movement with the parietal bones, allowing for expansion and contraction. He was an Osteopathic physician and the founder of Cranial Sacral therapy. Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of the first Osteopathic school in America, was the inspiration for Dr. Sutherland’s epic journey. Both doctors believed, that the bones of the skull could move. It was controversial within the medical community then, as it is controversial today. Dr. Sutherland was a deeply spiritual man and later described the origins of the breath of life , a term we revere in this work ,from the Book of Genesis 2:7. This later became the foundational believe of Cranial Osteopathy

There are several treatments available for TMJ relief. They vary from relaxation techniques to replacement surgery. What treatment works best in completely dependent on the severity of the TMJ and its response. All doctors agree on one point surgery is the very last option after every other option has been explored.
