Hi, I'm Dr. Ray Drury with The Upper Cervical Spine Center, and today, I want to talk to you a little bit about TMJ, Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction. A lot of people have discomfort in the jaw with opening the mouth, and they have popping or grinding. I had it for many, many years, and every time I would eat, I would pop, and then sometimes there would be a sharp, stabbing pain in the jaw. Sometimes, it would even lock up, or I couldn't open my mouth wide enough to even get food in, and it used to drive me crazy.
 Well, when I started going to an upper cervical chiropractor, all of a sudden I realized that one day my jaw quit popping and I never had any more discomfort. It never locked up on me anymore, and that was 25 years ago. So, I haven't had any TMJ problems ever since, but I've actually helped hundreds of people with the same situation with their TMJ.
