I would call Dominic a magician because he seems to perform magic. But after all, there seems to be a more plausible explanation. Even after multiple dentist and doctor visits, I had unremitting jaw pain from my Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and was taking Tylenol AND Ibuprofen every 6 hours to keep the pain at a bearable level. Then Dominic and I had our first session, during which he focused on massaging my jaw. This provided short-term improvement. During the second visit, we had more time to explore the pain and Dominic discovered the source of my imbalance just by his physical exam skills. He focused on abdominal massage and after that second session, my jaw has been pain free. I am a Pediatrician and try to explain pain based on what I’ve learned in medical school and residency. Dominic explained to me how the abdomen and jaw are related physiologically. It’s something that I understand but would never have connected the dots myself because traditional medicine does not take that holistic approach. Learning to be more open-minded and trusting Dominic’s technique was just the magic I needed.
