Craniomandibular System (CMS)

All organs in the head-shoulder region are strongly interconnected via muscles and nerves. It is called the Craniomandibular System (CMS)

Organs in the head-shoulder region:

• Alveolar organ, Parodontium ( sensors)
• Masticatory organ ( teeth, mandibular joints, chewing muscles)
• Organs of swallowing ( swallowing muscles)
• Organ of speech ( speech muscles)
• Mimic- and contact organs ( mimic muscles)
• Hearing organ ( ears)
• Organ of sight (eyes)
• Olfactory organ ( nose)
• Centralnervous organ ( brain, impulse network via sensors and nerves)

Craniomandibular Dysfunction (CMD)

CMD is a systemic disease of the muscles and nerves of the head-shoulder region. It is mainly caused by malpositioned teeth and an incorrect bite.

CMD - Medicine

CMD – Medicine is the science of the functional connections of the organs in the head-shoulder region. Disorders of these functional connections, the so-called dysfunction, can give way to various forms of pain.

The aim of every therapy is to treat the cause of a disease and not the symptoms.

CMD - Symtomes

Do you suffer from one or more of the listed symtoms and have specific or organic causes been excluded? Then you may suffer from the so-called Craniomandibular Dysfunktion – CMD, named “Costen Sydrome”; Costen was the first to diagnose the disease.
