I was 4 months pregnant when I started seeing Dr. Di Liberto. I had never been adjusted before and now I was even more concerned that I was pregnant. I had complained to my Ob/Gyn about some low back pain, shoulder pain and hip pain. She told me I probably needed to be adjusted and that I was not balanced due to my pregnancy. I was surprised to hear that she recommended me to see a Chiropractor. I always thought medical doctors did not think that highly of Chiropractors. I asked her if she knew of any that she could recommend, she said I should see the one she goes to. Of course! It was Dr. Di Liberto. I was still nervous but went with confidence. Dr. D was kind, considerate, professional and very, very knowledgeable about pregnancy and pregnant women treatments. He took the time to explain exactly what is going on with the changes in my body and how he could help in relieving some pain and discomfort so I could enjoy the rest of my pregnancy. After seeing Dr. D for several treatments I was able to move around without unnecessary pain and enjoyed the rest of my pregnancy! The labor was a whole other story! To this day I still see Dr. D on a maintenance basis as does our new baby, my husband, his sister, my sister, my father.....well you get the picture.
Your the best Dr. D. Thanks for giving me and my family a new understanding of health!
What are TMJ Disorders?
TM (temporomandibular) disorders, also called TMJ, affect
the joint where your skull meets your lower jaw. Stress, grinding or clenching
your teeth, poor posture, or an injury can cause the joint to become
misaligned. You may hear clicking sounds or have pain, stiffness, or a locked
jaw.
How Does a Chiropractor Treat TM Disorders?
The doctor is trained to restore the health
of your spine and joints. Special chiropractic methods, may
help improve range of motion in your jaw and relieve your pain.
Adjustments
Your treatment depends on the cause of your jaw disorder.
During an adjustment, the doctor presses on your jaw, skull, or upper
spine to relieve irritated nerves and increase your jaw's range of motion.
Related treatment
The doctor may suggest other types of treatment to
reduce pain and restore smooth motion in your jaw. These may include
ultrasound, heat or ice, massage, or jaw exercises. The doctor can
discuss these with you.
