Karen M., age 44, is a dental technician with right earache and restricted TMJ, especially on the side. She had a bout of bronchitis and had been taking antibiotics.

Apart from encouraging her to start probiotics ASAP, we adjusted her mandible, zygoma, C1, and hyoid, at which point she started a rather dramatic coughing fit.

I kept checking her. Before the coughing fully subsided, I adjusted her larynx.

Karen said, “That was the exact spot!” (the hyoid), “I feel much better now.” She was able to fully open her jaw, and her earache had gone.
