Acute and chronic postural abnormalities as related to craniofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders.

This article has focused primarily on the etiology of CFP and TMD that begins extrinsic to the stomatognathic system and may represent the causative factors behind continued patient complaints after medical and dental intervention. A close professional relationship between the dentist and physical therapist is essential. The knowledgeable physical therapist, through direct interaction with the patient's bodymind, can assist with facilitating change, restoring function, and increasing awareness. New ways of efficiently posturing and moving cannot be learned readily until old bodymind patterns are recognized. From here, the exciting mutual journey of discovery begins and the process continues to unfold for the therapist and client alike.

Nonmedicinal and noninvasive pain control techniques in the management of rheumatic disease and related musculoskeletal disorders.

This paper reviews and compares the pain relieving effect of various noninvasive and nonmedicinal modalities and techniques in the management of arthritic pain. Emphasis is placed on analgesic methodologies that can be self-administered with few or no side effects, are reusable and inexpensive. Proper application guidelines are presented along with a discussion of the proposed mechanisms of action. In addition, suggestions for further research and standards by which such research should be conducted are presented.

Electrode placements for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.

Even though transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is gaining increasing acceptance as a noninvasive method of pain modulation, many professionals have not been adequately instructed in the many techniques involved in electrode placement. Alternative methods are presented that can be used when more commonly used methods fail to obtain satisfactory results. Anatomical and physiological considerations for determining appropriate electrode placement sites are stressed.
