Average Rating: 
Rating:  - 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. My dentist, who I had once thought was excellent, sold me a very expensive night guard but never mentioned that a few exercises might immediately ease the pain in my jaw, lessen my headaches, and give me a sense that there is actually something that I could do to help myself. For helping me to understand ... Read More
Rating: - A TREASURE
This compact book is a treasure throve of great advice for tmj sufferers. It contains exercises, advice, everything needed to control tmj and more. And in an easy to read format. Exercise illustrations are also easy to follow.
Rating:  - Not well written/organized
It is nice to know that some people got help from this book. I did not, and here is why : The book is badly organized and the information while helpful is not straigh-forward.
2 years ago, I started having extreme pain chewing, and pain in my molars. I went to the dentist many times who did not find anything wrong with my teeth.

Rating: - I refer this book to all my TMD related patients
I am a general dentist in state of Oregon. I loan this book to my patient who has TMD or think he/she has TMD. (Everyone has TMJ but not everyone has TMD) I let them read this book for couple weeks and a short follow up visit. 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!

Rating: - Doesn't work for everyone
Hi. I rate this book 1 star not because it is a poorly written book, but to bring to your attention that this book, in regards to "self help" does not work for everyone.
I bought this book due to all of the 5 star reviews and declarations that individuals found immediate relief from some of the things in this book. I am very happy for their results. I wasn't expecting immediate relief, but I was expecting more effective self-help techniques and less recommendations to go to more doctors ... Read More
