Dr. Stack has a special interest in treating Tourette's patients, particularly teenagers and preteens. Over the years this has developed from his ability to treat craniofacial and headache patients. He noticed the overwhelming majority of these patients had facial tics, eye blinking, eyelid tics, mouth tics, head nodding, shoulder shrugging and head tremors. He treated these patients as TMJ patients (jaw joint clicking, locking, limited mouth opening), although he treated them mainly for pain. He noticed all of these tics dissipating at the same time. When word started spreading throughout the healthcare community that he could get rid of these associated tics, Tourette's patients started to come to his practice. He was very successful in ridding them of these comorbid conditions. He has developed quite a following of these patients.
If you have any of these conditions and you wish to try his treatment, which does not call for any psychotherapy or drugs, but only requires a wearing of a dental mouthpiecewh (not noticeable to others), please call his office 703.821.1103.
What this mouthpiece accomplishes is that it realigns the jaw so that it fits beneath the base of the skull so that the lower jaw is in a better position and it is no longer misaligned. Dr. Stack feels that the basis of most of the comorbid Tourette's conditions is basically a misalignment of the mandible to the skull base due to some type of TMJ internal derangement.
