I finally decided to fork up the $400 and try this. When I tell you it feels incredible on the jaw, forehead & face. I sat in the target parking lot after purchasing & started using it in my car. 30 minutes later I was still using it in the parking lot & had to force myself to put it down & go home.

Does anyone experience neck pain here? Almost less pain in the actual jaw joint and more underneaths in the muscles and ligaments / throat area. Also does anyone else’s hyoid bone click and pop? Just feels like extreme tightness and tension. That leads to horrible headaches.

Anyone with tension in face/masseter muscles should try this! It doesn't cure TMJ or work the same as taking the pill for pain, but it massages and it gives a small relief from the tension. Also by doing lymph drainage of the face, you are taking away the pressure, so it hurts a little less.
