I think the origin of the headaches is muscle imbalance since most

of the headache pain can be traced to trigger points and muscle

spasms during the headache - and even after.

One intersting thing I thought I'd pass on is that after a headache

I usually get what I call an 'imprint' - that is, the pain is gone,

but the painful area is still sore (does that make sense?). It

feels like a bruise and lasts for several hours. I believe what is

happening is that the muscles go into such contraction that they

don't get any oxygen and the lactic acid builds up. Then the body

takes a while to remove the toxic lactic acid - similar to the burn

I used to get when I lifted weights.

I didn't reply to this earlier because I wanted to think about it a

bit first.

If you are getting the muscle spasms and contractions in your upper

back/shoulders/neck area pre-headache, it is suggestive of a tension

type headache. And if so, I would recommend working the GB 20s and

B 10s for the headache and that neck/shoulder/upper back release for

the muscle tension. In other words, I would do them in combination.

I am curious about that " imprint " sensation. Where exactly do you

get it? Is it in the head or in the shoulder/back area? I have

never heard of thatg sensation for a headache as such but it does

make sense as a residual effect from contracted muscles. I also

suspect that you are probably correct about the lactic acid burn.

That also makes sense, particularly when you factor in that lactic

acid is a by-product of muscle activity.
