Author Description

Review In Why Suffer In Silence?: How To Control Those Tension Headaches, Dr. Won offers insight into what may be the cause of many people's tension headaches as he presents the theory that sever tension headaches have a dental component which many patients have not recognized. He distinguishes between the TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder and the TMM (temporomandibular muscular) disorder, a term which he proposes should be used in place of the dental term, myofascial pain dysfunction. Dr. Won also provides advice and relaxation techniques since stress is a major cause of both conditions. Why Suffer In Silence? features illustrations and case studies to help the reader better understand the clinical terminology, which will no doubt prompt many tension headache sufferers to investigate the role that the TMM disorder might play in their pain. Why Suffer In Silence? belongs in every dental clinic, medical center, and community library. -- Midwest Book Review
