Abstract
Objective : We had good effects on two patients who had problem with temporomandibular joint by using upper cervical manipulation combined with acupuncture therapy. Methods : Two temporomandibular disorder cases were managed by using upper cervical manipulation, combined with acupuncture therapy. We used Toggle-recoil technique for the purpose of upper cervical manipulation. Results :Even though symptoms of two patients were not same, each cases showed clinical changes by using upper cervical manipulation. Two cases had effects on decreasing pain of temporomandibular joint, and at the first case, the range of motion of temporomandibular joint was increased. Conclusion : We could treat temporomandibular disorder patients by using upper cervical manipulation combined with acupuncture therapy.
