Dr. Wesley Shankland has written a very comprehensive book for individuals who suffer with TMJ and related disorders. TMJ: ITS MANY FACES, 2nd Edition, published by Anadem Publishing, has drawn on Dr. Shankland's experience of over 20 years of treating patients from all over North America and around the world. These patients have seen, on average, six other health professionals prior to seeing Dr. Shankland. While many of these patients have been told that their TMJ problem is a result of stress, Dr. Shankland has found that nearly 100% of these patients do have physiological and/or anatomical reasons for their pain.

Dr Shankland wrote this book as a follow-up to TMJ: Its Many Faces. Even with the outstanding reception the first book received, He felt more information needed to be written for the general public.Billions of dollars are spent each year for healthcare, much for the diagnosis of pain. Pain sufferers will do and pay anything for some hope of relief. Unfortunately, insurance companies don’t share such enthusiasm for pain relief. And it’s going to get worse, at least in the United States.
