This week, Dr. T sits down with Jason Scoppa, DC, CSCP, CCSP, PAK, to talk about something that affects thousands of TMJ patients every day: the gap between dental treatment and body work. If you've ever wondered why your TMJ symptoms keep coming back despite treatment or why some patients get better while others don't, this conversation will give you answers.

Dr. Scoppa specializes in Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) chiropractic and has over 1000 hours of advanced training in TMJ, airway, and craniofacial dynamics. He explains why traditional chiropractic adjustments often fall short when it comes to treating TMJ issues, why the bite and cranium must be addressed together, and what happens when practitioners work in silos instead of collaborating.

Among other things, you'll learn why "just adjusting the jaw" can actually make things worse, how cranial strain patterns get locked in during childhood (and orthodontics), and why the order of treatment matters so much.

This is a candid conversation between two experts who've spent years refining their coordinated approach to complex cases, offering rare insight into what actually works - and why.

Dr. Scoppa is now seeing patients at O2dontics, as well as at his Bellevue clinic. Learn more about him and his approach at https://www.tmjspecialist.com.
