Product Description
Product Description
This is a comprehensive guide empowering TMJ sufferers to uncover and treat this prevalent, often misdiagnosed ailment that plagues an estimated fifty million Americans. Many of us have TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorders without knowing it. Several seemingly unrelated conditions may indicate a jaw dysfunction. For instance, do you suffer from one or more of the following? Jaw fatigue upon awakening from sleep; unexplained headaches; unexplained pain in or above the ears; clicking or popping of the jaw; grinding or clenching of teeth; ringing or hissing in the ears; deviation of jaw movement when opening the mouth; excessive wearing down of the teeth; and, unexplained dizziness. These and other signs should alert you that you may be pursuing a cure for a misdiagnosed condition that could be costing unnecessary time and expense as well as unwarranted medical tests and/or dental work.The author combines his extensive personal clinical experience with adjunctive therapies to help readers arrive at a treatment fitting their own circumstances. The role of muscles, joints, stress, tension, accidents, nutrition, dentistry and posture are among some of the topics explored.

I found this book had some interesting points, but unfortunately it didn't really help me and was rather repetitive. It seems to focus on the main TMJ type symptoms, which I don't have, and gives very little info on the more unusual symptoms such as tongue irritation, etc.

An excellent book with very useful information
16 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback
Dr.Goddard, who practices at the University of California, San Francisco Center for TMD, has written an excellent and very useful book for anyone who has a TMJ disorder. He provides an overview of the disorder and a first-rate self-care section with many tips on how to manage the problem. This is a must-read book for anyone who suffers from TMJ.

TMJ
17 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
This author is the only one who seems to know anything about this disorder. I also thought he really cares because the cost of the book is such a small amount to part with.
I bought his other book for $10, Taking control of tmj
I spent about alot of money going to numerous dentists, doctors, chiropractors and no one taught me what this guy knows. I was very stressed out about what I was going through, but his book gave me more peace of mind. He explains whats going on with you also and how to correct it. Very inexpensive for what you get!

Nothing new

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been suffering from problems with my jaw since having some heavy-duty dental work performed three years ago. Since that time, I have been to numerous health care providers to diagnose and help solve my problems: two tmj specialists, three dentists, two orthodontists, a tmj therapist, acupuncturist, chiropractor, orthopedic doctor, and a rheumatologist. Problems with the tmj seem to be nobody's area of expertise--even for some of those who profess to know a great deal. Just recently, I finally had a CT scan done on my jaw. What an insurance run-around!!!!!! BUT finally I have hard data that shows I have degenerative joint disease of my tmj. Not good news, but at least I have a jumping off point for becoming educated about treatment options available, and being able to make informed decisions.
The information in Dr. Goddard's book is interesting. Since I have personally done a lot of research on-line about tmj problems, I did not learn much of anything new from this book. But I can say that this is a good place to start your research. I probably could have saved a lot of time by reading this book first.
TMJ: The Jaw Connection was published in 1991, eighteen years ago. Advances in surgical treatment have been made since this time. I would say the book is worth reading, but if you have an existing knowledge base, don't expect to learn much new.
