Just discovered your site! Great stuff!
I've had a ringing/whistling in my ears as far back as I can remember. Sometimes it changes pitch or frequency... which is a nice break in the day... but it has never gone away. Aside from that, I have frighteningly good hearing. I rarely have a sharp pain in my jaw, maybe once every several months. I don't clench or grind my teeth and I'm normally the calm, laid back sort.
My jaw dislocates every now and then, usually when I'm tired.
My question is this; is there anything I can do to possibly strengthen the joint itself? Are there exercises that might help? Most of the info I see regarding TMJ are pain-related and that is not a great factor for me... I just hold on to somthing until the waves pass. Hey, I can deal with it 4 times a year! Gotta be better than surgery!
Also, would the tinitus improve if the TMJ were 'cured'?
I could really do without this guy blowing the pitchpipe in my ears!
Thanks for your time,
Jim

You can find a site on the net - Dr. Uppgaard (I think Robert). He has written a book that will answer most of your questions. He will also accept questions by e-mail if you buy his book. Hope this helps.

asssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssThanks, Jim.
Pain is only one of the many possible symptoms from bracing of the muscles of the head and neck (Which you have in spades!) See the solutions to bracing in the archives.
See the glossary for any unfamiliar terms.
Let us know how you do.

Could you be talking about "Upledger"?

Classic!
This is mercury acting on you!
Both TMJ and "tinitus".
Metal in your mouth acts like antena and piezoelectric device!
Also, would the tinitus improve if the TMJ were 'cured'?
Many people suffer from dizziness, earaches, face, head and neck, shoulder, and lower back pain.
They frequently may also suffer chronic fatigue immune dysfunction, irritability, blocked or ringing ears, difficulty swallowing, temporary loss of memory, and arthritis like joint pain, or numbness in parts of the body that seem to have no relation to the MERCURY fillings and nervous system.
These cases are frequently unrecognized by the physicians or dentists who's standard training has not equipped them to understand the relationship between the neurotoxicity of mercury, pain and nerves!
Many dentists are also unaware oe plainly silent of severe mercury effects on nervous system.
It all is a cover up !!!

Hi Walt - no - its Dr. Robert Uppgaard, who has written a book on how to overcome TMJ. It was pretty helpful, and includes a lot of self help type stuff, excercises, stress related suggestions, as well as therapy recommendations.
By the way, I actually went to Upledger Institute here in Florida for some time, and received no relief at all for vertigo, spinal pain, fms pain, etc...

I had not heard of Uppgaard.
