Real Patients, Real Stories

“When I began having headaches and earaches, I made an appointment with an ENT. Nothing, including a CT scan, identified the cause of the discomfort that I was experiencing. I mentioned the problems to Dr Caracioni at my regular 6 month cleaning appointment. She suggested that temporomandibular joint dysfunction could be the cause of these symptoms. However unconvinced I was that this was the problem, I agreed to have the neuromuscular testing done. After a few minutes with the tense unit, my symptoms began to diminish. When the tense unit was removed, I began experiencing symptoms again within just a few minutes.

For several months I wore an orthotic. After few adjustments to my orthotic, my bite stabilized. My headache decreased dramatically. My earache totally disappeared. I am delighted that I put my trust in Dr. Caracioni.

Now I am at the point of deciding my next step in the treatment. Dr. Caracioni gave my several option to consider. Again, her expertise and willingness to work with me have given me the tools necessary to make a decision for further treatment. I cannot express my appreciation to Dr. Caracioni and her team for their dedication to diagnosing ant treating TMJ problems. I have recommended Dr Caracioni to several people having symptoms similar to mine.”
