Gillian
Gillian had suffered from severe headaches for ten
years. She had seen countless doctors, physiotherapists,
chiropractors, osteopaths, and had now been referred
to a psychiatrist for treatment having been on light
and powerful antidepressants for a year without
any improvement. The advice she was given was to
continue on heavy antidepressants for a further
six months and then return for a review. It was
only that Gillian was advised not to drive for the
whole six months which prompted her - a company
rep who depended on her car, to consult our member.
To Gillian, that she slept properly for the first
time in ten years having had a deprogrammer fitted,
was of profound importance. The cycle of the dependents
had to be broken somewhere and this gave her the
single biggest shot of confidence in medicine for
ten years. Her headaches were improved in one day
and gone within three. Follow up treatment with
the second appliance and work on adjusting Gillian's
teeth fitted together proved to be very demanding,
the size of the bite error being tiny. Nevertheless,
an excellent result was achieved. Two years on,
Gillian is still being weaned off the medication
she had been on. Gillian's confidence in herself
has been restored. Her performance at work has been
improved and she is more or less back to her old
self.
Comment:
There is no link between the size of the
bite error and the scale of pain experienced by
a patient. In this case a tiny error was producing
severe symptoms which had literally driven the patient
into psychiatric treatment. The logic behind her
treatment was the same as with the other case studies.
All that was needed for our member to be able to
spot the microscopic bite error, listen to the patient
and work to tolerances which would make a Rolls
Royce engineer break out into a sweat. |
