High Blood Pressure

White JE, Baldt GADig Chiro Econ Mar/Apr 1987; 29(5): 40-1

In the early 1950s some osteopaths were treating hypertension with a combined cranial, facial, and total-body approach to therapy. It was found that they could reduce the blood pressure this way for up to a month between treatments. Clinically a common finding noted was the mandibular condyle would be slightly recessed in the glenoid fossa of the temporal bone. The correction involves (for hypertension) “stopping the posterior glide of the mandible” by repositioning the jaw slightly forward, correcting any cranial faults and repositioning the craniofacial bones.
