TMJ
I had been suffering from TMJ for twenty years. The pain would get so horrific that strong painkillers were the only avenue to temporary relief. I have missed days of work, suffered constantly and wore a splint 24/7. One Saturday while in terrible pain, I got an emergency appointment with a massage therapist who was recommended to me by a fellow TMJ sufferer.
She recommended that I make an appointment with a NUCCA doctor. She said "one visit was enough to cure her of the pain she was suffering". I went as recommended.
The beginning visits were showing slow signs of recovery, then something clicked and the pain left me. If I make an appointment every two weeks (right now), I suffer from no jaw pain. When I miss going for a month, the pain reminds me to make an appointment. Yet, I have been told that in time my visits will be scheduled much farther apart.
I am sincerely grateful for the tremendous amount of pain free days.
