Dr Monteith: This is Dr Teshamae Monteith, associate editor of Continuum Audio. Today I'm interviewing Drs Meredith Barad and Marcela Romero-Reyes about their article on oralfacial pain, which appears in the October 2024 Continuum issue on pain management and neurology. Welcome to the podcast, ladies. How are you?  Dr Barad: Excellent.  Dr Romero-Reyes: Fine, happy to be here.  Dr Monteith: I am so happy to see you. I mean, I think both of you I've known for like ten years. Dr Romero-Reyes: Yeah.  Dr Barad: Yes.  Dr Monteith: So why don't you introduce yourselves? While I know you, our audience, some of them, may not know you.  Dr Romero-Reyes: I'm Dr Marcella Romero Reyes. I am a neuropathial pain specialist, clinical professor, and director of the Provident Special Pain Clinic here in the University of Maryland School of Dentist. Dr Monteith: Excellent.  Dr Barad: My name is Meredith Barad. I'm a clinical associate professor at Stanford and I work- I'm the codirector of our headache and facial pain clinic in the Stanford pain management clinic. Dr Monteith: Well, first of all, thank you for writing this article. It is extremely detailed and up-to-date and very informative. And in neurology, I think we don't get enough pain management. I'm interested in both of your backgrounds and, you know, what led you even to become an expert in this area? And both of you have complementary areas. I think we can see in the quality of this article. But why don't we start with you, Dr Romero-Reyes? Dr Romero-Reyes: Well, for me to get interested in orofacial pain, I will say more than an interest was like a calling that I wanted to take care of this patient population. So, as you know, my background is dentistry and at that time I was very interested in patients with complex medical issues. And was the time I was- I started to be interested in temporomandibular disorders. But what really picked completely my attention was the first time I saw a patient with trigeminal neuralgia. This was my last year in dental school. This patient already had, like, almost a full upper quadrant of teeth extracted where pain was not resolved. So when the patient came to us and I did my exam and, you know, and I triggered the pain, the sharp shoot electrical pain, that really broke my heart. And I took an x-ray and I didn't find anything that will explain it was something wrong until I talked to my professor and he said, no, this is medical. There's nothing wrong with it, with that tooth and needs to be, you know, followed with proper management and medication. And for me, that was like, wow, what a proper diagnosis and proper management can take care of these of these patients. And when the patient got better, that really said, oh, you know, I want to do this.  Dr Monteith: That's a crazy story. It's always that last patient of the day.  Dr Romero-Reyes: And you know, think about it, at least in dentistry at that time, I learned about trigeminal neuralgia from a book, right, my classes. But when you see the patient, this is it. That completely, you know, made me say yes, I want to study this.  Dr Monteith: Yeah. And unfortunately, that's not an uncommon scenario where patients with trigeminal neuralgia get, you know, their extractions and pain can sometimes be more complicated. What about you, Dr Barad? Dr Barad: Well, I guess I'm sort of like the opposite. So as a neurologist and a trained pain physician, I saw a lot of patients with neuralgic pain and headache pain, but I also saw many patients who would say, I have TMJ. And as, as Dr Romero has educated us, that's like saying I have shoulder or I have knee. But I quickly realized that I needed to work with a multidisciplinary team to really understand more about orofacial pain. It's not just neuralgic. There are other ideologies. And so that's how we started working together and that's how we practice in our clinic at Stanford. Dr Monteith: So, why don't you tell us about the objectives of this article? Dr Barad: I think our objectives were to help the neurologist broaden the differential diagnosis on facial pain to encompass below the nose, the oral cavity, the temporal mandibular joint. And to just think more broadly about facial pain and to understand some of the more recent diagnostic criteria that have been developed for facial pain and to- how to diagnose properly and how to begin treatment for some of the other conditions that are non-neurologic.  Dr Romero-Reyes: And I think I will ask about what Dr Barad say that also to bring awareness to the neurologist about the vast classification of oral facial pain disorder, craniofacial and orofacial. I think that was also a key thing too. And also, to show how well we can work together, you know, the multi-disciplinary management that is indicated for these cases. Dr Monteith: Cool. And you mentioned some of the new diagnostic criteria. I want to talk just briefly about the new international classification of orofacial pain, ICOP. When did that come out and what was the process there in really fine-tuning the diagnosis of orofacial pain disorders? Dr Romero-Reyes: So, in 2019 the orofacial head pain especially interest group of the International Association for the Study of Pain, the International Network for Orofacial Pain and Related Disorders methodology and the American Academy of Orofacial Pain and the International Headache Society. They partnered together to develop to develop this international classification of orofacial pain. And these, I think- it's such a great effort, you know, all the main people doing pain about this area, and goes very well together with the international classification of headache disorders. So, for example, you know, some disorders that International Classification of Headache Disorders doesn't present such as and the ICOP, International Classification of Orofacial Pain, presents, like the persistent idiopathic dental Viola pain. You have it in the ICOP. It's not, you know, mentioned in the in the International Classification of Headache Disorders, as well as, also we have the- I think it's item number five, the orofacial representations headache disorder or primary headache disorder. The ICOP gives you a nice, clean diagnostic criteria.  Dr Monteith: So, I guess I would ask Dr Barad with this classification in mind, how useful is it in neurology practice? And I know obviously you see patients with pain, but how useful even in managing patients with headache? Dr Barad: I think it's great because I've had a lot of dentists and ENT doctors who have started referring patients to me because they've realized that they've increased their awareness about orofacial pain and realized that pain in the sinuses, for example, accompanied by light sensitivity and sound sensitivity and rhinorrhea, may not be a recurrent monthly sinus infection. And so that kind of broadens our awareness of these of these disorders. And it's been, it's brought new patients into my clinic that we can help and treat. So that's been exciting.  Dr Monteith: And what about in the world of dentistry? Obviously, I think people in orofacial pain worlds are highly attuned to this, but I would hope this would hopefully have been disseminated into dentists and regular practice at C patients with trigeminal neuralgia. Dr Romero-Reyes: Going back for the, what you were discussing about the ICOP. So, it's what we're trying now as a new specialty. Well that we have been for the last four years, but finally in 2020 we have been recognized by the American Mental Association to disseminate this knowledge. But also, you know, can you imagine in in the realm in orofacial pain or dentistry have a patient with this recurrent pain, phonophobia, photophobia, throbbing dental pain is throbbing, but it's nothing wrong with your tooth. And that did they tell you that actually you have an orofacial or facial migraine or a neurovascular or facial pain. How crazy, right? And that is managed with migraines therapy. So it really, you know, to make you think like that. Wow, so these weird tooth things that used to come every week or these with facial pain, it's nothing to deal with, you know, with my teeth or any structure, you know, inside my mouth. Dr Barad: It sounds to me like what you're saying is that we've, this has encouraged patient education as well, not only interdisciplinary education, but really helping provide an explanation for the patient about what is going on with them. So rather than just getting sent away to another tertiary specialist, the patient is getting a more robust understanding of what's going on.  Dr Romero-Reyes: And going back to what you were saying about trigeminal neuralgia, you know, at least in dentistry also we're teaching now a new awareness like for two things, right? What about from the neurology setting? The patient has captured electrical pain. The trigger is intraoral. If it's pain inside your mouth, the first practitioner you're going to see who will be maybe the dentist that the dentist knows that could be a possibility of a disorder that doesn't deal with teeth, but also, it's important and we discussed that in our paper. What about that actually that weird trigger actually, it's not a general. What about if it's a cracked tooth has that singing sensation too. So, you see, it's two ways; one, to teach dentist to learn about this disorder and you know, we have learned, but you know, it's much more awareness now that this is great that, you know, these disorders you're not going to treat with dental procedures. Right? It's medical and vice versa, that the neurologist also has the awareness that oh, central trigger. Have you gone to the to the dentist? Have you checked that out? Dr Monteith: So what should neurologist know about dental sources of pain? Dr Barad: Well, maybe they should read the paper?  Dr Romero-Reyes: Yeah. Yeah, you need to read the paper. Yeah.  Dr Monteith: Top three, don't treat this with gabapentin.  Dr Romero-Reyes: Like well, dental pain is not going to be resolved with gabapentin. That would need to make a diagnosis if and you know it's that examination that come comes with a radiographic evidence that shows that maybe could be a cavity or could be a problem. You know in the in the practical tissues of the tooth that is given a symptomatology. Not only dental could be a lot of different disorders inside there now that can produce pain that also the readers can check our paper and learn about and see the wonderful interesting pictures that we have added there. Dr Monteith: Yeah. And so why don't we talk a little bit about TMD disorders and what is the new thinking around these conditions? Dr Romero-Reyes: Well, I will say for the last decade, maybe a little bit more has been a change in the evidence. They evidence based understanding of the theologia pathophysiologist and for mandibular disorders. Imagine that what's the shift in the in the paradigm that in dentistry prevails for a long, long time. That is that really focus and I will call it the pathological mechanistic point of view. What I mean by that I was focusing your bite, your occlusion, how the relation between in your maxilla mandible. That was the only issues that would create in temporomandibular disorders. So now we know that temporomandibular disorders are complex, are multifactorial and you need to understand them and see them within a biopsychosocial framework. And this dictate the main way to management for the primary way that we start will be conservative, reversible and basing evidence that the best evidence available that we have. Dr Monteith: And what about for trigeminal neuralgia? Is there newer kind of classification around trigeminal neuralgia? and what are some key points that we should consider when diagnosing these patients and treating these patients, Dr Barad?  Dr Barad: There haven't been any new diagnostic criteria, but I would say that there's been an increased awareness that classical trigeminal neuralgia is more likely than not related to neurovascular compression or we should say, maybe I should say neurovascular contact or compression. There is a developing grading system of that. That's an evolution as we speak. I think it's an exciting time for facial neuralgia because it's opened the door for us to look at other neuralgia also as vascular compressions and to think about how we can treat them with decompression or possibly with peripheral nerve stimulation or medicine or Botox. Or who knows what's the future is going to hold? But it is I think a change in the way we are thinking about the definition of neuralgia of, of trigeminal neuralgia in that is caused by a compression which is different than other neuralgia in other parts of the body. I should, I just want to classify there's about maybe ten twelve percent of people who present with classical trigeminal neuralgia who there is not evidence on imaging of a vascular contact or compression. But the majority of cases do seem to have some somewhere in the spectrum from contact to compression.  Dr Monteith: Even contact I find to be a bit vague sometimes say, well, thanks for letting me know that they're touching. But and then some of the neurosurgeons have different perspective when you open the patient up. So, I didn't know about the grading.  Dr Barad: Yeah, I think you've hit on it exactly like that is a big problem in the field right now. How do we understand what patients will be the best patients for surgery? And it used to be that you have the classical trigeminal neurologist symptomology plus some imaging that shows something versus nothing. And now we're getting into parsing out the imaging and trying to understand who's the best candidate for that with the imaging.  Dr Monteith: Dr Romero, anything to add?  Dr Romero-Reyes: No, that I agree about that, you know, and I think now maybe for the patients that I have seen with that, because under partial pain settings, sometimes we're the ones that, oh, actually what you have is trigeminal neuralgia idea, you know, so we start to have our small disciplinary management, but you know, when they come out, I already have an MRI doctor, but, and they say that these are compression, but what degree? And some patients that they don't have symptoms can have a compression. And I'm thinking maybe right that later on when we have more time and maybe nicer imaging, we're going to really find out or if it's the development angle is the measurement has some other characteristics, who knows. So, I think for trigeminal neuralgia, the things is still evolving, right? For our understanding. I have to help us to make a more- I will not say definitive diagnosis, but maybe some parameters will change in the future. Dr Monteith: So now we have a lot of people listening, international folks listening, and they always want some treatment, a tip, some clinical tips. So, can you give us a little bit of clinical insight to how to treat patients with trigeminal neuralgia and when you're seeing patients for second and third opinions, what might you see that may explain why their pain is not well controlled? We all get into interdisciplinary care, but in terms of pharmacology? Dr Barad: I think people are a little reluctant to use some of these medications that neuromodulating medications because, in general, it's an older population and they're rightly worried about falls and dizziness and confusion and low sodium. And so, I think they hesitate to go to the doses that are needed to help with pain control. So, a lot of our, my initial management is gingerly and gently titrating that to try to get to see if we can get control of the pain. Dr Monteith: Dr Romero?  Dr Romero-Reyes: I could add, for example, one thing that I in the realm of facial pain addition to pharmacology. Let's say that we have a patient with that intraoral trigger and we were able to localize that intraoral trigger. Sometimes we can even also use topical medication. And in the topical medication we can use, for example, an anticonvulsant, let's say gabapentin, oxcarbazepine for example, to add in the cream. And we use, we call it a neurosensory stent in my looks like a Nygard, but it's not a Nygard that can cover that area. So, the patient can add that cream very delimited in that area. And that helps, you know, can help with the pain sometimes. What we can find is that, at least in my, in my experience, and that when we add a topical, maybe we don't need to increase as much. The systemic medication, of course, depends from case to case.  Dr Monteith: So those are two great tips. Not being afraid to push those doses up in a safe manner and maybe with monitoring as well as of maybe utilizing more topicals. And I think we could probably hear a lot more from you on topicals at some other point. But thank you also for the table. I think it's, it's really nice the way all the treatments are laid out. So what other cranial neuralgia advances have there been? Dr Barad: I would say the main advancements have been in applying the knowledge that neurosurgeons have learned from microvascular decompression of the trigeminal nerve, to the glossopharyngeal nerve, to the geniculate nerve, and really trying to optimize imaging and optimize neurosurgical techniques to try to treat these neuralgias. If the patient has failed medicine, if the patient is a good candidate for surgery and if the patient desires that. Dr Monteith: Great. So now let's talk about multidisciplinary approaches. I know both of you are big fans of that, and you may do things a little bit differently at your institution, especially with your background. So maybe Dr Romero, do you want to tell us about your experience? And then we'll have Dr Brad. Dr Romero-Reyes: But in my experience from study management, let's say depend, of course, also the started we're talking about. But let's say for example about temporomandibular disorders, you know that for TMD is one of these overlapping pain conditions and we know that TMD is common with primary headache disorders, especially migraine. So, if we're able to utilize, you know, the expertise of neurologist specializing headache. With me, for example, or a facial pain person that is that is helping you manage a patient with this comorbidity. This is super effective because we know the presence of TMD in a migraineur can help the disorder to, to progress some more chronic form. So, you see, this is super important and effective to provide, you know, optimal care for the patient. For example, in the patients that I do see with neuralgias, like in addition to trigeminal neuralgia, let's say nervous intermediates neuralgia, that sometimes they can come to me like, oh, the pain is in my ear and my EMT or, or I think maybe it's my TMJ and for the pain is charged shooting inside the ear doesn't follow the for the diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders. And I can maybe help the patient to get a proper imaging or already penalize it with a neurologist to make sure. And maybe at least my way will be maybe I'm the one that can catch those disorders and help, you know, the patient to go for the next step. Dr Barad: I think Marcella, Dr Romero-Reyes, hit on a nice point that maybe this group is not as familiar with and that is that temporal mandibular dysfunction TMD is a, is one of the disorders that we call chronic overlapping pain conditions or COCPs. And those include headache. it's not, it's not specified fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic pelvic pain and several other chronic pain syndromes. And they suggest a central sensitization to one's pain. And the way that we treat centrally sensitized pain is not just through medications, it's in a biopsychosocial framework because we see much higher rates of depression and anxiety in this group. And so, using a pain psychologist to help the patient develop coping strategies to help them manage their pain, using a physical therapist to help them learn this, the stretching exercises and using medications to help with not only with their pain syndrome, but also sometimes with their psych comorbidities. And then additionally, procedures sometimes play a role in the process to help usually turn down the pain. Interestingly, when we look at trigeminal neuralgia, we see much less overlapping pain disorders. It's much rarer to see somebody with TN who has other COCPs or the kind of chronic levels of depression and anxiety that we see in these patients. So, the approach is very different, and I think it requires the use of a multidisciplinary team to help guide the treatment pathways for these patients.

And ideally, everyone should be placing their tongue suctioned to the roof of their mouth behind their 2 front teeth, with their lips sealed and breathing through their nose without tension in their jaw.” ”If your child has a low oral rest posture…basically mouth breathing, then that automatically puts them into a state of fight or flight.” ”When a child is mouth breathing for a long period of time, it will deactivate that area of the brain, and so myofunctional therapy really focuses on facilitating a closed mouth posture and activating the nasal passages and making sure that the person reaches a more ‘rest and digest' or parasympathetic state.” ”Breathing and sleeping really take a huge toll, and it's really an abstract silent epidemic that we're in with this.” ”A really good tip is to always do these exercises in front of a mirror with them so they can get some visual feedback.” ”We're in a silent epidemic of this.” How to Connect with Dr. Marielly Mitchell Website: http://www.doctormarielly.com  Instagram - http://www.instagram.com/doctormarielly  Dana Kay Resources:

Paula Anderson has been my son's myofascial therapist for the past year. She joins me today for the second part of a two-part series where she speaks about the importance of quality sleep, the benefits of nasal breathing, and the role of oral posture in maintaining an open airway, preventing illness and pain, and improving sleep quality.  Today, in Part 2, she explains why snoring is neither healthy nor normal and discusses what sleep-disordered breathing may lead to. Issues caused by upper airway resistance (a form of sleep-disordered breathing): Clenching or grinding teeth Tossing and turning Waking frequently Waking up feeling exhausted  Brain fog after waking up Paula Anderson's Bio: Paula Anderson is a Qualified Orofacial Myologist and a Registered Dental Hygienist.

She also realized that her entire family, including herself, could benefit from this therapy.  From mouth breathing and snoring, ortho relapse, and TMJ, she dove in and learned from the best in the field.  She has always loved holistic health, and working with a team approach to whole-body health and myofunctional therapy is her contribution to this field.  She is IAOM (International Association of Orofacial Myologists) trained and is also a member of the International Association of Orofacial Myologists.  She is also a certified MyoMunchee practitioner. She has lived in the Quad Cities her entire life, and she and her husband have four daughters, two sons-in-law, two grandsons, and several fur babies.

I first stepped foot into the dental field back in 2011 graduating St. Clair College in 2014. Over the years I have taken many continuing education courses, leading me to finish my Bachelor of Science - with specialization in dental hygiene, at the University of Detroit Mercy in 2018. I have always been interested in how oral health effects overall health, and have taken many continuing education courses around this area. I have found that there are many people (including myself) with orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD) and that people were just dealing with it. This brought me to do some research and asking myself - Why are people just dealing with the symptoms? There has to be negative long-term effects in having OMDs and there has to be a root cause to the OMD.During the shutdown of March of 2020 due to the global pandemic, I came across the field of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT). This was the first time I have heard of OMT and wondered why I havent heard of it before. Researching more about OMT, I knew I had to get certified, and completed my certification October 2020.During my studies of OMT I learned how to assess for signs and symptoms of orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs) and learned how to treat my own OMDs, realizing the impact it had on my overall health. I am excited to provide the same services to you! Through a comprehensive examination, a therapy program is specifically designed depending on the persons myofunctional disorder and severity to help them start breathing well, sleeping well, and living well.I also look forward in collaborating with other health care professionals who are interested in learning about OMT and how it can help make a difference in their patients who live with OMDs.Outside of Dental Hygiene and OMT, you can find me out and about in the community with my husband and daughter, usually taking our two dogs for their walks. I have recently enjoyed learning the art of photography - mainly landscapes. My biggest joy would have to be traveling; Im always looking for a new destinatiWant to learn more from me?

Riley's story with her son is one of strength, resilience, and finding inner trust. Riley openly shares her experience in finding out about her son's Orofacial Cleft Diagnosis half way through her pregnancy, and the challenges she has overcome with her family since. If you are currently in a similar position, or know of someone who is, this could be a wonderfully insightful episode for you to listen to. While Riley shares her journey, she is quick to share that her experience is her own, and that everyone's journey is unique. There is no one right way to feel or experience this news and situation. Riley's story might just be the beacon of hope that helps you through your journey in a way that feels more supported and less alone.

We're back to the science and therapy discussions!!In this episode, Rebecca gives us insight into how important the oral health of our children truly is for their overall development.  I had no idea that breathing through our nose helps the organs function best.  Did you know that a tongue-tie can negatively impact a woman's milk production?  These are just two of the lessons I learned on today's show.In this "not-so-woo-woo" episode, Rebecca discusses how she meets a child where they're at to create a long lasting change in how the tongue and facial muscles work together to produce speech.If years of regular speech therapy just hasn't been working for your child, perhaps it's time to work with an Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist?I had a profound take-away at the end of the episode.  I hope it helps you in your interactions with your child too.  I'd love to hear your thoughts...so, let me know what you think.Resources: Connect with Rebecca at info@nvedtx.comOr visit her website at www.https://nvedtx.com/For Our Special Kids (4OSK)We'd love to hear from you at ForOurSpecialKids@gmail.com or  at Jen@ForOurSpecialKids.com if you have any questions, topics, or an amazing person we should highlight.  Your support for our show is why we do this each week.  Please tell a friend or family member about us!  Sharing is life!Follow Us on Instagram & FaceBook, @ForOurSpecialKids 

This podcast provides an approach to identification of the different types of cleft malformations, outlines the management of orofacial clefts and timing of surgical repair and discusses the genetic syndromes, sequences and associations linked with cleft lip and palate.  It was developed by Julie Le, a first year Family Medicine resident at Queen's University with the help of Dr. Regan Guilfoyle, a pediatric plastic surgeon at the University of Alberta.

As dentists, we are uniquely positioned to assess and diagnose patients with disorders around the airway, sleep and how it relates to orofacial facial pain. The impact of these conditions on a patient's life can be chronic and debilitating (severe fatigue, pain) and can impact their general and mental health in a plethora of ways - mood, reflux, parafunction, concentration, blood pressure etc. Frequently it's the case that the underlying issue for many of these patients - airway and sleep disorders - remain undiagnosed and untreated until it's picked up by a dentist. A thorough dental assessment can reveal signs and symptoms that go on to trigger further investigations or referrals to ultimately uncover what can be a life changing diagnosis for a patient. Dr Rohan Krishnan recently completed his masters in the field Sleep Medicine and Orofacial pain management. He explains the important role dentists play in the initial diagnosis and management of sleep and airway disorders. The post TIP #83 – Dental Sleep Medicine with Dr Rohan Krishnan appeared first on Dental Head Start.

In this episode, we chat with Louis DiGiovine PT, who is a clinically talented orthopedic manual therapist with 41 years of experience. Lou graduated from the very first class at The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) in June 1980 giving him the distinction of being one of the first eighteen physical therapists graduating in the State of New Jersey. He continued that “pioneering” spirit when he took his first position as a staff therapist at the busy and reputable Christ Hospital in Jersey City, NJ. Working and training in an urban General Hospital provided him with a strong background in medical and surgical knowledge.  In 1983 he became a co-founder of Hudson Heights Physical Therapy (one of the first few private practices owned by physical therapists in New Jersey).  Through that organization, he performed contract-hospital work at St. Mary's Hospital in Hoboken, Palisades General Hospital in North Bergen, Meadowlands Hospital in Secaucus, Essex County Geriatric Facility in Belleville, The Industrial Medicine Center in Secaucus, Union City Visiting Nurse Association, and Christ Hospital  Homecare Agency for more than five years. During those early years, he attended many extensive training courses, workshops, seminars, in-services, study groups, and conferences throughout the country. Lou learned all of this extensive training to become the best physical therapist that he could be and provide his patients with the best care possible. Throughout his early professional years, his primary area of interest and goals was to become an orthopedic manual therapist with a specialty in spine care. In time, Lou became known as a “spine therapist” and as a result received many more referrals from spine care physicians, also helping him to accelerate his knowledge base in the treatment of spinal injuries, conditions, and surgeries. It was through the discovery process of learning spine care and treating many patients that Lou became acutely aware of the relevance and close interrelationship of back and neck problems, TMJ dysfunction, headaches, upper quarter dysfunction, shoulder problems, posture and pain, orthotics, body mechanics, ergonomics and lifestyle management. All of which he has received specific training and education. He has lectured on these topics to study groups, in-services, seminars, physical therapy students, industrial work sites, corporations, athletic organizations, and varied community groups. Throughout the past twenty-nine years, Lou has participated in various treatment programs and clinics including sports medicine clinics, amputee clinics, prosthetics and orthotics clinics, arthritis clinics, work hardening, worksite ergonomic assessments, pre-employment screens, and pre-season athletic screenings. In 1996 Lou founded Excellent Physical Therapy Back and Neck Care an orthopedic physical therapy private practice dedicated to the treatment of spine care. Within the practice, he developed and implemented administrative and treatment standards of care through policies, procedures, and protocols.  The interweaving of professional knowledge and experience with tested business practices is what made Excellent Physical Therapy a very unique facility where dedication to excellence was evident. Lou DiGiovine PT continued his training and education by establishing a working relationship with two recognized spine surgeons and performing rounds with the physicians and their patients six hours per week for eight years. This once-in-a-lifetime experience allowed him to gain an understanding of the complete spectrum of spine care treatment including medicine, pain control methods, epidural injections, spinal diagnostics, indications, and contraindications of spine surgery, types of surgeries alternative care, and spine surgery rehab. Lou is an active participating clinician of the New Jersey Spine Institute, North American Spine Society, and The American Physical Therapy Association. He is licensed by the New Jersey State Board of Physical Therapy. He has inspired others to follow his lead and with the addition of experienced and qualified staff over the years, he has expanded the scope of Excellent Physical Therapy to include all orthopedic musculoskeletal conditions including the treatment of knees, shoulders, fractures, joint replacement, pediatric and geriatrics.   (Since recording this interview, Lou's practice has been acquired by Jag-One Physical Therapy.  Lou continues to practice here and is also the Clinical Director.) Highlights of this podcast include: Upper quarter dysfunction Postural syndromes Orofacial pain  TMJ Trigeminal neuralgia Spine-health Back pain and rehabilitation  Progressing through therapy  Trigger Points (network)  Soft tissue release  Posture  Throat/Neck pain  Pterygoid muscles Tinnitus  Subclavius muscle Heat vs Ice And So Much More!

Like most of TMD and DSM's foremost thinkers, Dr. Mayoor Patel's journey started in Zimbabwe, led to Arkansas, and eventually to finishing dental school at the age of 22. Oh, wait, that's a crazy, outlandish story - but truth is stranger than fiction.   Don't believe us? Then wait until you hear what Dr. Patel has to say about the ONE thing he's observed in all his courses that separates successful Dental Sleep Practices from those that fail to take flight. I'm just going to give you a hint - the initials are “RDH.”    And there's more folks. COVID, depression, and parafunction - Is there any overlap?    What effect does perimenopause have on sleep? I'm asking for a friend, by the way...   Do bite splints really make apnea worse? What about UARS and headaches?   Orofacial pain, TMD, and sleep - Is there really a connection?    Get your listen and learn on with The ZZZ Pack and Dr. Mayoor Patel, the dentist that is in the process of LITERALLY writing the textbook on Dental Sleep Medicine.

Let's take a look at the orofacial structures of the face, neck, and oral cavity. The listener will be provided with the introductory landmarks of the face and neck as well as the landmarks within the oral cavity. Comprehensive understanding of these landmarks are essential components of the oral cancer screening exam that is performed on all patients as part of the assessment in the clinical setting. The variants of normal that exist in patient populations will also be covered and are essential for clinicians to know when performing the oral cancer screening assessment.

Karese, like many parents, suffered in silence while her children struggled with the symptoms of undiagnosed sleep and breathing issues. One visit to a pediatric dentist changed the trajectory of their lives. Already a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH), Karese, trained with Sandra Holtzman, Lois Laynee and Sarah Hornsby to establish her orofacial myology knowledge. With this initial training and numerous others, in a few short years she has not only resolved all her children's issues, but helped hundreds of patients, children and adults alike, discover how great life can be functioning on full. Her private practice, The Myo Spot is now a leader in the quest for myofunctional therapy awareness and public education. Her latest published book, Accomplished, delves into how to sleep better, eliminate burnout, and execute goals. Karese's mission is to transform and positively impact as many households as possible through dynamic breath, brain and body work.
