Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) is a total system for the diagnosis and treatment of myofascial pain syndromes (chronic pain conditions that occur in the musculoskeletal system when there is no obvious sign of injury or inflammation).
Plates Slide Past One Another Plates grinding past each other in opposite directions create faults called transform faults. Powerful earthquakes often strike along these boundaries. The San Andreas Fault is a transform plate boundary that separates the North American Plate from the Pacific Plate. This fault system is largely responsible for the devastating earthquakes in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Faultsâbreaks in Earthâs crust where rocks have slipped past each otherâform along these boundaries. There are three types of plate boundaries: transform boundaries, divergent boundaries, and convergent boundaries. The plates move at amazingly slow rates, from about 1 to 24 centimeters per year. They have been moving for tens of millions of years. A transform boundary is a place where two plates slip past each other, moving in opposite directions. Earthquakes occur frequently along these boundaries. The place where two plates move apart, or diverge, is called a divergent boundary. Most divergent boundaries occur at the mid-ocean ridge. When a divergent boundary develops on land, two slabs of Earthâs crust slide apart. A deep
