• Millions of Americans suffer from chronic facial
  pain, neck pain and recurring headaches. In some
  cases, this pain is caused by Temporomandibular
  Joint Dysfunction, or commonly known as TMJ.
• Your temporomandibular joints connect your lower
  jawbone to your skull. Everytime you speak,
  chew, swallow and yawn throughout the day, these
  joints are used. Pain in and around these joints
  can be unpleasant and can even restrict movement.
