their muscles are referring their pain (another interesting area for clinical
research). >>
***In your previous post you did not distinguish between 'different types of
migraines', but implied that Aileen's manipulation of certain muscles would
relieve migraines in general. Since there is a great deal of research into
the biochemistry of migraine, it would be interesting to know how each type
of migraine differs and how muscle manipulation could somehow alter central
nervous biochemistry. Any theories or references which may offer a partial
solution to this problem?
Incidentally, how does a non-functional muscle refer pain, especially if its
nerves are severed?
