KST A to Z

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and the cingulate gyrus

David Shores, DC

Encinitas, California

Her therapist said she had a problem with the cingulate gyrus and gave relaxation exercises that helped very little. Using KST I never really got anywhere with her OCD despite trying many times.

Using the OD, I identified the left cingulate gyrus as the primary dysfunction and adjusted the palate posterior to anterior. She came back the next week reporting her OCD was 70% better! After correcting a related tooth root, she was 80-90% improved and held steady for the following month.
