Really taking control.:

I also found this book by accident: I was at the library while looking for books about shoulder pain and finger numbness. I was amazed to find out that my new pain was possibly related to my TMJ.

I refer this book to all my TMD related patients:

Most patients are amazed how much better they feel by following the instructions from this book. I highly recommend this book. Simple diagram and easy to read instructions. Patient treat themselves without medication is a wonderful thing!
