Meet Shadiah
Shadiah was once an energetic young woman in her 30s, but severe pain in her knees, neck, and shoulders began to limit her ability to stand and walk. This issue emerged shortly after the removal of a second molar and a wisdom tooth, marking the beginning of a challenging journey to relief. Despite consulting over 40 specialists—from primary care physicians to neurologists, chiropractors and acupuncturists—she found no respite from her pain. Eventually, her search for a solution led her to Raman Center for TMJ & Sleep.
Advanced Diagnostics and Treatment
At Raman Center for TMJ & Sleep, Shadiah was introduced to the Raman CCMD Protocol, a comprehensive diagnostic process that includes Physiologic Neuromuscular Dental (PNMD) treatment. This method was instrumental in precisely diagnosing the optimal jaw and neck alignment, taking Shadiah’s unique anatomical features into consideration. The team meticulously compared her presenting posture to the optimal alignment, highlighting the significant impact of jaw and neck positioning on her overall body balance and stability.
Shadiah’s treatment plan featured advanced technology like Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans, home sleep tests, and K7 EMG scans, essential for a precise diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.
She was fitted with a physiological neuromuscular fixed orthotic. This non-surgical treatment device served both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. The moment the orthotic was applied, Shadiah could stand with significantly less pain, an experience she hadn’t had in over a decade. Her immediate improvement was so profound that it felt miraculous, completely transforming her perception of what was possible.

Outstanding Results
Dr. Prabu Raman expressed deep satisfaction with the progress made, noting, “We really feel blessed that we can make a positive impact on Shadiah’s quality of life.” His holistic approach went beyond symptom management to address the root cause of Shadiah’s discomfort.
Shadiah herself was amazed at how a misalignment of her jaw could be the underlying cause of her extensive symptoms. Overwhelmed by the sudden enhancement in her quality of life, she shared, “I’m in complete shock and happiness right now because I have not been able to stand for 11 years, and I’m standing as soon as this fixed orthotic went in.”
The comprehensive care at Raman Center for TMJ & Sleep helped Shadiah regain significant mobility, independence, and joy in her daily activities. This dramatic transformation underscores the center’s commitment to employing advanced technology and personalized care to change patients’ lives. Shadiah’s journey is a testament to the center’s dedication to solving complex health issues through innovative, customized solutions.
