We receive inquiries about FaceFormer therapy every day. Expectations are for explanations of the effect of the FaceFormer method on specific symptoms. In most cases, a comparison is made with personal experiences with idiopathic treatments that have been unsuccessful.
We answer the questions by first clarifying the difference between symptomatic and causal treatments. Symptomatic therapies dominate everyday medical practice, but often achieve no or only temporary improvements. They are emergency solutions that are used because the causes are not known. However, causal therapies alone are capable of effectively eliminating diseases in the long term.
With FaceFormer therapy, we treat a complex of causes that is associated with many disease symptoms. Our many years of research have shown that disorders of “constitutive dominant functions” (Berndsen/Berndsen) result in numerous symptoms, the causal relationship between which has not yet been clarified. With the application of FaceFormer therapy and the associated treatment of the functional disorders, the symptoms are continuously reduced in most cases, often to the point of complete resolution.
We have illustrated the interactive processes of the functional chains of the head in our diagram “Functional space of the mouth”. This article begins our explanation of the scientific and practical correlations associated with FaceFormer therapy.
