I just bought a book called ; Taking Control of TMJ. by Robert O. Uppgaard, D.D.S.

It is a 'must' read. He takes a whole body approach to relieving

the symptoms of TMJ/Fibromyalgia.  

There are many case studies of his patients and he goes into detail on

the treatment plans that he had put them on. Some have had Splints

where as some didn't need them.  

He also has great checklists where you can check your symptoms, bad

habits, and steps to take to be more aware of the contributing factors

which tend to aggravate the disorder. 

He also goes into detail on jaw/neck/head exercises to do to help with

jaw function, and other overall body exercises to stretch the muscles in

your back, and legs, along with proper breathing exercises. 

I related to a LOT of the bad habits he mentions in the book!! I couldn't

believe I actually do these things unconsciously! 

 Wishing Eeryone a Painfree Day!
