Osteopathy for Jaw?
My 17 year old was beaten up last week and the result was his jaw being broken in 2 places - left upper and right lower and bad bruising to the rest of his face and eyes. He's had the lower fracture pin and plated but the upper one is awkwardly positioned and not suitable for plating.
I'm wondering if, when the fractures are healed, whether osteopathy would be worth a go, to correct any subtle displacements of facial and jaw joints? If so does a normal osteopath do this kind of thing or is it a specialist area?
Answers:
sherakapod try a bowen therapist first - it is a gentle therapy and also extremely effective with jaw problems.
