Another One From Dear Courageous Amy

“I will see a 10 year od boy this weekend. His mom says he used to be a happy go lucky kid, but has recently been getting migraines daily. I asked about head trauma and birth process..nothing to report. I asked about dental work and she realized that he’s been getting these headaches since his braces were applied and he had several teeth pulled. My question is twofold: 1) my notes say that compression can knock out midline and that you have to address compression before you consider midline..true?
blessings- were last night’s comments ok? again it is about language and energy- i would choose to say, and do say that it is not a question of “knocking out Midline (nothing can really do that, right? rather it is a question of Midline manifesting through spark into 2D and 3D space. Midline is always there…it is a question of the body having teh resources to access it and and the Breath that it carries.) OK? and yes compressions will obliterate teh patient’s and your ability to access Midline…so other than the usage correction, the answer is yes!!
2) I assume that braces create compression (CST people say the rhythm may be shut down be braces..do you concur?). So how do you advise parents if braces may cause ongoing compression? Is recommending a holistic dentist overkill? And can what I do hold if braces persist in compressing?
do not be so fast to assume that braces are going to do any one thing! tehy can pretty much potentially create trouble anywhere and everywhere! compressions are just one item on the menu- i have seen braces and extractions derange the cvj and Breath, thus moving the client into shock! there is so much more than “shutting down the rhythms” (which rhythms/connected to which SC elements…they are of course partially correct, however i have lost patience with partial truths and the slightly misinformed, slightly generalized, slightly ignorant double-speak that characterized so much of the so-called “CST” teachings. that is why i do not, except in this context, even want to discuss them or somehow try to compare them to what i/we do. do you understand? i am usually a little patient or compassionate. just had a very long day, and had to endure so much bullshit that it made me want to scream. i spent a half an hour trying to explain to a new patient why my work (and my impressions/interventions/recommendations were different from the 2 orthopedists and neurologist that this man saw! and no matter how i explained it, he just refused to try to grasp it! aaarrgh!
anyway, holistic dentists/orthodontists- yes there are many who have been cranial osteopathically trained, mostly by Viola Frymann. DO. they evaluate and treat teh strains induced by the braces as they go, and use minimally invasive braces as well. i have also over the years treated children and adults myseld while they were having braces. often that works, and sometimes i can even give the orthodontist some feedback and suggestions, although quite often they resent my involvement and won’t listen to any of my suggestions…?!
in love and service
