He opened a general practice in London in 1979 and soon developed a keen interest in the dynamics of the oral facial complex and maturing dentition. He uses Orthodontics to treat unfavourable conditions early in children.

Since 1998 Dr. Rawson has traveled extensively throughout North America to study with the leaders in chronic head and neck pain, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), orthodontics and sleep disordered breathing including snoring and sleep apnea.
In 2003 Dr. Rawson opened the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of London, Ontario based on the model created by Dr. Steven Olmos of San Diego, California. The Centre is solely dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. He incorporates a holistic approach and uses a multidisciplinary team to enhance treatment success. Therapies include craniosacral therapy, massage therapy, nutritional analysis and referrals to appropriate medical facilities where indicated. Dr. Rawson and his well-trained and dedicated staff see patients daily who suffer needlessly from headaches and sleep disorders. They are pleased that these conditions can now be treated effectively using modern technology and new treatment concepts.
