KST A to Z

Syringomyelia, chronic pain

Glen Potgieter, DC

Dordrecht, Netherlands

Patient comes in complaining of chronic pain, lower cervical and low lumbar. He was diagnosed with a syringomyelia (a fluid-filled cyst within the spinal cord) which over time may enlarge, damaging the spinal cord and causing pain, weakness and stiffness.

KST finding: dental, tooth 4th right hand side. The patient went to the dentist, nothing found; maxillo-facial surgeon, nothing found. His own dentist in Poland sent him to a jaw specialist and a seriously infected tooth was pulled out of his mouth (it wasn't the 4th, but the 7th tooth, but hey it was right side). Thankfully the patient took my advice seriously. Sometimes you know it is right!
