The Negative Cascade Effect: Impact of a Rotated Mandible
Abstract
Csillag Maria and Kakar Ajay
The human body is a vertical bilaterally balanced entity capable of locomotion on two legs. The entity maintains an upright stance because of an intricately connected musculo skeletal system. This system works in synchrony with a vast number of muscles, tendons and nerves, which holds the bony parts as one unit allowing them to move as joints, thus making it possible for the human body to carry out complex physical tasks. The mandible, is housed right at the top, just below the brain. This is a unique bone having a bilaterally connected joint with similar muscle attachments on either side. Any imbalance in the bilateral symmetrical function of the muscles can trigger of a variety of complex interactions leading to major problems in the entire musculo skeletal system right till the feet. In addition this asymmetry also impacts internal organs unfavourably. This sequence of events has been termed by Smylist® as the negative cascade effect. This article explains how an imbalanced (rotated) mandible can cause a vast variety of problems and issues in the human body
