Temporal Mandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) is a living nightmare for an estimated 50 million Americans who suffer from this disorder. Symptoms include head, neck, and back aches. You may also have earaches, bouts of deafness, or ringing in your ears. You may hear clicking and popping when you chew. Some patients experience dizziness, chronic fatigue, and difficulty swallowing.

When there's an imbalance in the jaws, the muscles in the neck and shoulders try to compensate, causing pains and headaches that can't be relieved until the jaws are realigned.

Dr. Foley has special training in TMD and can treat jaw misalignments and its symptoms with a special NTI and by repositioning the teeth using adjusting procedures to produce a better fit between the upper and lower teeth. In a small number of instances, surgery may be required, but for many patients, the improvement is immediate and the results profound. To learn more, visit HeadachePrevention.com.
