TMD - The Forgotten Problem of Modern Medicine: What the dentist often overlooks - but the body feels. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783819251009)

Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) affects millions of people worldwide - yet many suffer for years without ever receiving a correct diagnosis. Behind common complaints such as jaw clicking, tension headaches, neck and shoulder pain, tinnitus, dizziness, or even digestive problems, there is often an undetected dysfunction in the interaction between jaw alignment, muscular tension, posture, and the nervous system. This book sheds light on the complexity of TMD in a clear and accessible way. It shows how subtle imbalances in the jaw can lead to full-body symptoms, why many conventional treatments only bring short-term relief, and what approaches have proven effective in the long run. Author Markus Schall combines personal experience with practical insights to help readers better understand their symptoms and find meaningful ways forward. Without technical jargon or oversimplification, the book offers a valuable resource for: - individuals affected by unexplained or chronic symptoms, - medical professionals and therapists seeking a broader perspective, - and anyone who wants to better understand the links between jaw health, body tension, stress, and overall wellbeing. Topics include: - How TMD is often overlooked in standard diagnostics - The connection between posture, bite, and muscle chains - The role of stress, sleep, and breathing patterns - Why the jaw can influence the spine, digestion, and nervous system - What therapies really help - and which ones don't Whether you're dealing with symptoms yourself or supporting someone who is, this book will help you recognize the deeper patterns behind persistent discomfort - and show you how clarity is the first step toward healing.
