TMJ and chiropractorsRemember that TMJ can throw your spine all out of whack and can create awful symptoms such as dizziness.
As you know I suffered dizziness for about eight years before I finally found help thru a chiropractor. Over those eight years I had gone to many specialists including chiropractors. No one could help me until a chiropractor was suggested to me by a friend who found relief from her own dizziness problems.
The proper chiro who was finally able to help me worked from RECENT Xrays he took in his own clinic. That doesn't mean to go out and look for a chiro guy with his own X-ray machine. LOL. Just make sure you have one who will either send you in for X-rays or will work from an extremely recent Xray. I had several chiropractors...one worked from an X-ray that was 5 years old. One worked from a Dental x-ray which showed part of my neck. And one told me he didn't work from X-rays because X-rays harm the body...when I told my current chiropractor about these other guys he literally laughed! And wanted to know how do those chiropractors know what is wrong with your spine if they don't have an X-ray?
Which now makes sense...but when one is desperate we kind of take anyone's word who says they can help. Right?
Within a month I noticed a big difference. No dizziness. No real off balance problems. Headaches were going bye bye and the muscle aches throughout the body were getting better...so I suffered for eight years from something that could have been helped within a month...
Don't do what I did...Instead do your research about how to get a good chiropractor, if that is the route you choose to explore.
Here's a link where you can find info about how to find a good chiropractor:
