Dr. Michael Adler of Boulder, Colorado recently attended the 15th International Congress of the International College of Cranio-Mandibular Orthopedics (ICCMO) in Fukuoka, Japan on November 14-15, 2009.

Dr. Adler was one of fourteen members of ICCMO to attain the distinguished credential of Fellowship during the meeting. In a formal, robed Convocation, Fellowship was conferred upon Dr. Adler who successfully fulfilled rigorous obligations as required by the College. The Fellowship process has a minimum one year requirement. The major objectives of the Fellowship Program of ICCMO are to provide recognition of an individual for a high level of achievement in the diagnosis and treatment of craniomandibular disorders and for professional efforts to advance the science of the biophysics and physiology of the head and neck.

ICCMO is a society of health care professionals with a common interest in the etiologic role of orthopedic deformities as related to the various symptoms of head and neck pain and dysfunction. The College is a worldwide organization which fosters an exchange of knowledge among those engaging in dentistry, medicine and collateral health care professionals.

Dr. Adler was well received at the ICCMO.  He discussed the importance a millimeter can make in the treatment of neuromuscular dentistry and presented a case study of his father to highlight this point.  He also presented his research on the connection between neuromuscular dentistry and cadmium induced lesions of the Gasserian ganglia and dorsal root of the trigeminal nerve.  Passionate about his work and field of study, Dr. Adler is a natural speaker and if you are a regular patient then you know that he always has a joke or a great story to tell.  

Continuing education is an important part of keeping up with the latest in dental and medical advancements and Dr. Adler enjoys sharing his own knowledge and expertise to help others in the field.  Dr. Adler’s staff would like to extend their congratulations on this great accomplishment and are proud to work with a doctor that continues to perfect his craft and excel in his field.
