Publisher's Synopsis
Treatment Isn't One-Size-Fits-All In today's world, health care can be unforgiving, impersonal, and frustrating. Some doctors will only prescribe symptomatic care-to the point that weekly doctor visits become the norm. It doesn't have to be that way. There is more at the root of health problems than most people would think, and part of healing is knowing enough to ask the correct questions. Drs. Edmund and Lynn Lipskis wrote Breathe, Sleep, Live, Smile: Integrative Treatments for TMJ, Sleep Apnea and Orthodontics to address issues in their field of expertise, and to also highlight the importance of getting to the root of your medical problems in order to eliminate the symptoms which negatively impact your life. This book includes information about: the relationship between TMJ, chronic pain, and sleep apnea/breathing issues; the importance of integrative treatments and professional/patient collaboration; getting to the source of your pain for more permanent solutions without drugs; and the importance of evaluating children as young as two years old to help prevent major health issues. Every presenting set of symptoms has a different roadmap to health. Don't wait-learn how to get to the source of your health problems before you fall into the cycle of endless treatment.
