TMD and occlusal splints: A personal experience report with a clear overview

by
CMD occlusal splints

I have been wearing a Schöttl splint myself for three and a half years - a fixed bite splint in the lower jaw that is regularly reground and is deliberately designed to not only relieve the jaw, but also influence the spine. And that's exactly what it does for me. This splint has helped me to calm my static, relieve tension and develop a completely new body awareness.

During this time, I've realized how little clarity there is out there about the different types of splints. Especially in the online groups, I keep seeing how confusingly this term is used - as if every splint does the same thing. That's why I'd like to bring some order here and explain to you in an understandable way what types of splints there are and why the difference is so important.

The Affinity graphics suite becomes free: What professional users need to know now

by
Affinity graphics suite free of charge

If, like me, you have been working with layout and typesetting programs for decades, you usually notice such changes more clearly than those who have only recently entered this world. I have seen many things come and go over the years: In the early nineties, I worked on the Atari ST with Calamus SL and later, under Windows, with CorelDraw! Later came QuarkXPress, then iCalamus, Adobe InDesign - and finally, a few years ago, Affinity Publisher. Since then, the Affinity suite has accompanied me through almost all my book projects. Over the years, it has been a reliable tool, pleasantly straightforward, clearly structured and free of the ballast that many large software houses have added to themselves over the years.

„The Magic Wall“: Two children's books that strengthen the courage of young readers

by
Children's books by Jana Kollmann

At a time when many children's books seem fast-paced and are often designed for short-lived effects, it is worth taking a look at works that have been written with real attention to detail. Books that take the time to build a world that not only entertains young readers, but also conveys courage, imagination and inner strength.

This is exactly the kind of book Jana Kollmann writes - an author whose roots, life path and artistic influence are recognizable in every line.

Understanding hemorrhoids: Why posture and statics are often the real causes

by
Hemorrhoids and poor posture

Haemorrhoids are one of the most common physical complaints of all - and yet you almost always get the same explanations for them in doctors' surgeries. Fiber, more exercise, drink enough: the standard tips seem like a firmly programmed pattern that has been passed on unchanged for decades. And sure, these tips are not wrong. But they fall short because they only scratch the surface.

This article shows why it is worth looking at hemorrhoids from a different perspective - beyond the usual advice. It aims to make people aware that the real causes are often not located where the symptoms occur, but in the interaction of the entire body statics. Anyone who understands how posture, breathing and muscular tension interact quickly realizes that the solution sometimes lies not in the next ointment prescription, but in the foundation of the body itself.

Dieter Bohlen in plain language: Why Germany is failing because of its own bureaucracy

by
Dieter Bohlen in conversation with Dominik Kettner

This article highlights a recent, remarkably candid conversation between Dieter Bohlen - the longtime music producer, entrepreneur and one of the most recognizable faces of German pop culture - and Dominik Kettner, a precious metals expert, YouTuber and financial entrepreneur who has been studying wealth protection and economic trends for years.

At first glance, the meeting of the two seems unusual: here the entertainer with decades of international experience, there the financial analyst who primarily addresses security-conscious savers and entrepreneurs. But it is precisely this mixture that makes the interview so exciting. Bohlen speaks freely, without a PR filter, while Kettner drills down and makes complex developments tangible. Together, they create a space in which undesirable political developments, economic risks and personal experiences are interwoven - clearly, directly and without excuses.

Understanding TMD: Why knowledge is the first step to healing

by
Understanding CMD is the first step to healing

There are complaints that don't behave like normal symptoms. They appear, disappear, shift - and don't fit into any specialist category. This is exactly where the story behind TMD, craniomandibular dysfunction, begins: not an exotic disease, but a functional disorder in the interaction of the temporomandibular joint, chewing muscles, teeth, neck and throat. What sounds so technical acts like a silent director in the background in everyday life: it pulls here, presses there, makes you tired, makes you nervous - and rarely does the finger point directly at the jaw.

Your opinion counts - New surveys on current topics

by
Surveys on current topics

A magazine thrives on exchange - now also interactively. Anyone who knows me knows that I don't write to preach - but to initiate thought processes. The articles on my website have never been a one-way street, but an invitation to reflect. However, what has been missing so far is the opportunity for readers to take a very concrete stand - anonymously, honestly, directly. This is exactly what is changing now.

You can now find interactive polls on my website that are integrated directly into articles on specific topics - and also appear in rotation in the sidebar. This is a step that was long overdue: because in a world in which more and more opinions are being imposed from above, every freely expressed opinion from below is a piece of digital sovereignty.

How AI specialists can be trained today - opportunities for companies and trainees

by
Train an AI specialist

Just a few years ago, artificial intelligence was a topic for research institutes and large corporations. People talked about neural networks, deep learning and speech recognition - but it hardly played a role in everyday life. Today, AI is no longer a topic for the future, but a reality: it writes texts, creates images, analyzes data and controls production processes. Whether in administration, trade or industry - it can now be found everywhere.
