It is an umbrella name under which a great multitude of symptoms can find cover. They are too many to mention. The short of it is: when something is off in the body structurally it begins to compensate by pulling on muscles and adjusting position of bones and disks. Eventually the compensatory mechanisms begin to break down. Body enters into disease mode. I have a lot of hope for you and your friend. Constant pain and Sleep Apnea is not a condition that you have to live with for the rest of your life. OSB treatment is a fantastic non invasive modality that treats Snoring and Sleep Apnea from day one. All the Best. Dear Suzan,

I did a search pertaining to OSB (oral systemic balance). I was not aware that one's CRP is an indicator in dentistry also. Mine was elevated to 12 three years ago and was attributed to a bronchial infection or my fibromyalgia that I've lived with since 1999. I am quite interested in your findings as I am suffering severely at this time with TMJ flareups due to recent root canal infections, amongst other pain issues in the neck area. I strongly believe that if tested again, my CRP would still be elevated, and agree, as a patient living with stress everyday, that ORAL POSTURE is VERY IMPORTANT, if not more than body posture. The pain is UNBEARABLE. I see a pain psychologist and she brought the importance of ORAL POSTURE to my attention when we spoke of relaxing the body during stress. I was totally unaware that I had been pressing my tongue hard to the roof of my mouth during the day, HABITUALLY from stress, which now had become a learned process. I also found myself upon waking with my tongue pressed hard to the roof of my mouth. All this pressure of course went straight to my jaws, nevermind the fact I suffer from bulging discs in my neck and have occipital neurgalia. (add 2 lateral root canal infections and #19 molar root canal to that and wa-la = SUPER PAIN) So, to end a long comment, I was glad to see you had a blog and hope you can read my comment. Please comment further on Oral Systemic Balance. I have a friend that suffers from Sleep Apnea and use the mask. She can stand it and is interested in holistic approaches.
