Good Luck. I would also recommend finding a dentist who makes the NTI-tss it blocks the temporalis muscles and the trigeminal nerve. I am 53 yr old female who has suffered with TMJ/whiplash, since I was 21. This book helped me more than any PT or splint (I've gone thru 4).
I would recommend this book to anyone who suspects they have a TMJ issue. No doctors have helped me so I decided to look for my own cure. I bought this book to do research on my limited mouth opening after brain surgery. I am in the process of reading the book and am looking forward to trying the things suggested.
I love how it shows diagrams of muscles and explains the details of fascia and the workings of it all. After suffering for at least 13 years with constant vertigo and phantom ear problems, I found the answer behind the symptoms. No tumors and not even hearing loss even though my hearing was muffled. There is hope.
God Bless you Dr. Uppgaard for this wonderful book and those of you who suffer. It is nice to understand the workings of the amazing machine called our bodies but even more so when there is a problem. Great book and I feel empowered and educated.
I took it upon myself to read blogs of other TMJD sufferers and low and behold, there it was, the demand that people with this disorder must read this amazing book. The author is a doctor who does not want surgery and pain killers and tries to help in the most common sensical way. I had indepth testing of my ears and brain. It was short book packed with answers to long sot after questions of pain and medical issues that cannot be solved or founded.
It gives exercises to help too. I was diagnosed with TMJD about 13 years ago but when I was told I had TMJD all that was said was I have a jaw disorder. It pin points trigger points and muscles and what they cause if they are in disstress.
I immediately stopped that and the TMJ went completely away, never to return. This book helped me in short order. I feel certain you'll discover the cause of yours. There are many other causes of TMJ covered in the book. I had a terrible case of TMJ and didn't know how in the world it developed. I read only a tiny bit and immediately recognized myself: I was overworked during that period and would fall asleep late at night sitting up at my computer, which caused my lower jaw to jut forward (not a pretty sight).
My chiropractor said it was very good. This book is very good. I think it will help with my TMJ.
