TMJ

TMJ, or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, is a painful condition that afflicts millions of people. TMJ is a jaw joint disorder that affects the point at which the jaw meets the temporal bone of the skull, right near the ear. Pain can be felt during speaking, eating, chewing, or many other normal everyday motions, and TMJ can also be a cause of lock-jaw, in which the jaw virtually freezes in the opened or closed position.

For the millions of people that suffer from TMJ, help is desired above anything else. To live pain free...to eat, speak, chew without discomfort. These seem like silly goals to the person who does not have TMJ, but TMJ is very real and information and treatment is at the forefront of goals.
