Chinappi, AS, Getzoff, H, "A New Management Model for Treating
Structural-based Disorders, Dental Orthopedic and Chiropractic Co-Treatment,"
Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 1994; 17: 614-9.

This paper is designed to present a model for treating structurally based
disorders through an integrated approach to patient care. The model requires
cooperation between dental orthopedic and chiropractic professionals in
evaluating and treating patients, and it demands that the patient assume
greater responsibility for the outcome. It holds that dental occlusion, as
well as spine, pelvis and the cranium, are determining factors in the
functional health of the body. Instead of treating each as an isolated
segment, the temporomandibular joint(s) (TMJ), cranium, spine, and pelvis are
considered interdependent parts of the whole body system.
