Please make sure you research this and try and get as much info as you can. This is somewhat controversial and does not work in a lot of cases. Has your dad tried massage? My jaw was dislocated when I was teaching a kickboxing class and one of the ladies got a little out of control. I had already had jaw issues and TMJ but that did it. I went through all the stuff, the night bite guard, not eating certain foods, etc. One of my employees was licenced in many different types of massage, including working on the mandible. I was pretty skeptical at first but by the 4th session I was out of pain and the muscles had stopped spasming. My insurance covered it which was an extra bonus. You definaely want to make sure you get someone who knows what they are doing. They work intra-orally, which is a little strange, but it helped me tremendously.
If you go to the web page of American Massage Therapy Association you should be able to look for therapists in your area.
