Wisdom Teeth Removal: I recommend manual and metabolic therapy for support.

Wisdom Teeth Removal: I recommend manual and metabolic therapy for support.

Personally, I would say it's essential after surgery.

Removing wisdom teeth is one of the most common procedures. Performed in adolescence or adulthood, even if the surgery is mastered, it risks leaving behind subtle but powerful imbalances that are not addressed by conventional medicine.

Like all the articles I write, they focus on real-life treatments on patients we support at Casa Terapia.

Our case today involved jaw cracking. This person is in her fifties, had orthodontics in her youth and wisdom tooth surgery over 20 years ago. It was a difficult surgery, requiring 2.5 hours of extraction and removal of the tooth piece by piece.

At Casa Terapia, we support these post-operative issues with targeted manual and metabolic treatments to provide deep relief and accelerate recovery.

All surgeries affect balance. The one we're dealing with today likely significantly altered our patient's osteoarticular balance.

-The extraction of wisdom teeth, which are erupted when impacted, involves:

-Forced and prolonged opening of the mouth.

-Tension in the jaw, neck, and shoulders.

-Local (or general) anesthesia, which sometimes leaves postural or neurological imprints.

-Bone healing, which slightly alters cranial support.

These microtraumas can include persistent pain, dizziness, vertigo, or unusual fatigue.

Over the long term, a new balance is established, resulting in new structural force fields and, in our case, a slight shift in the axes, leading to the discomfort for which our patient came for consultation.

We offer treatment on two axes: a metabolic axis, which is global and revitalizes the body, and a local balancing axis linked to manual therapy.

Manual therapy allows for gentle rebalancing.

This work aims to rebalance:

-Release tension in the masticatory muscles (masseters, pterygoids, temporalis).

-Above all, relax, balance, and restore flexibility to the cranial fascia, which is often tense after surgery.

-Reharmonize the cranial-cervical axis, disrupted by surgical posture and extraction constraints.

-Stimulate local lymphatic drainage to reduce inflammation.

-Relieve the digestive system, which is often strained by posture or secondary pain.

What should we ideally do to prepare for, support, and rehabilitate the extraction?

Before the extraction:

Metabolic baths so that the body can withstand the stresses and has enough available resources to avoid depleting itself by drawing on its reserves during the reconstruction phase.

Axial balance and alignment work.

This work should probably be done within 3 weeks before surgery.

Immediately after surgery,

Immediately after surgery, local and global lymphatic drainage should be considered to help the body heal.

When the inflammatory and pain balance is acceptable,

metabolic baths to restore the body's resources and manual fascial work would be ideal to rebalance people and bring them back to normal.

The baths will also help eliminate toxins related to anesthesia and healing.

So, you know everything I think about preventing and supporting tooth extractions.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones;
