What is TMJ?
Everyone experiences the occasional headache, shoulder pain, or sore neck. Most of the time we can dismiss the cause as nothing more than stress or our busy lives, but, when pain becomes a daily occurrence or is accompanied by other symptoms, there could be something more going on.
What is Sleep Disorder?
If you find yourself constantly battling fatigue, feeling as if your sleep is disrupted on a nightly basis, or if your family complaints about your snoring, you could have an underlying sleep disorder. There are several, common sleep issues (e.g.: sleep apnea) that plague many individuals like you.
