patients are labeled as hypochondriacs and told "it's all in your head"
.
What is TMD? And Do You Have It? Self-help hints to give you temporary, minor relief from some

Health Headaches are our number one pain

chewing muscles and jaw joints do not work together correctly.

body: it is two joints in one; its function is dictated by another structure
(the teeth); and it has an articular disc located between the ball and
