"TMJ" stands for TemporoMandibular Joint, or the jaw joint. You have two TMJs, one in front of each ear, connecting the lower jaw bone (the mandible) to the skull. The joints allow movement up and down, side to side, and forward and back—all the mobility necessary for biting, chewing and swallowing food, for speaking and for making facial expressions.
Patients who are told they should undergo treat-ment(s) to prevent the development of a TMJ problem should know that there is currently no evidence that such conditions can be prevented.

7 years ago I've been involved in a car wreck and even since suffered with severe on and off facial and jaw pain. I've tried almost everything western medicine had to offer and had visited countless of specialist, had done ct scans, and therapies but to no avail. The doctors I have been to had persisted that there wasn't anything wrong with me and that almost drove me crazy as I was going through hell from this condition. According to all my symptoms I was diagnosed by a holistic doctor as having TMJ and he had recommended this book to me. After following the recommendation in the book for several weeks, it had changed my life. I got immediate relief after following the unique set of exercises in the book and after 2 weeks the jaw and face pain had completely gone. I only wish I would have ordered this program years ago. It would have saved me a lot of pain and anguish.

TMJ= Temporal mandibular joint disorder that your doctor diagnosed, not prescribed. (the mandible is your jaw & is the strongest bone in your body) I can't believe your doctor didn't explain it to you. Go back & see him & have him explain what it is. You can look it up on the internet as well, but your doctor can answer your questions as he's explaining it to you. So many people have it & don't know it.

TMJ is a diagnosis- not a prescription!
