This groundbreaking book explains why millions of Americans with persistent headaches, toothaches, jaw pain, and other debilitating facial pain can’t find relief—even after seeing many doctors in search of a solution. The problem is that most physicians and dentists look for injury or disease to explain the pain but ignore the relationship between emotions and muscles, which compose most of the face.This book will not only benefit people with chronic pain, but also physicians and dentists less familiar with these problems or unable to adequately explain to patients how stress and emotions have fueled their suffering.
