There is an article in the Nov/Dec '86 issue of _Self_Care_ about TMJ.
It says that several dentists and chiropractors "specialize" in TMJ.
They also listed some references that you may be interested in.  I've
included them below; please note however that I have no idea whether
they are worth the electrons they are printed with.

	"Killing Pain Without Prescription" by Harold Gelb, D.M.D.
	and Paula Siegel, 1982, 247 pages, $7.95 postpaid from
	Barnes and Noble, 105 Fifth Ave., New York, NY 10003.
	A discussion of TMJ for the layperson.  Includes causes
	and symptoms, self-help exercises, relaxation techniques,
	and nutritional recommendations.

	"Jam Joints and Allied Musculo-Skeletal Disorders Foundation,
	Inc." (JJAMD), c/o Milton and Renee Glass, 790 Boylston St.,
	suite 17-H, Boston, MA 02199.  Self-help group for TMJ sufferers.
	They provide information, referrals, and group meetings.
