Magnets
The new agers have long been interested in magnets. You can find a multitude of products which will use magnets to fix all sorts of problems...from migranes to stiff joints to whatever else. The placebo effect is a really wonderful thing.
But now there's research about a form of magnetic therapy which seems to actually work: repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). This is a technique of repeatedly stimulating the brain using MRI magnets, to reduce resistance to firing and maintain connections. In the recent study, it was used in spinal injury patients, and they showed improvement. A small, short-term study, but with very promising results. This could help with regrowth as well as strengthening treatments. Very attractive possibilities! < /cornball>.

Blogger, I was just passing by on my search for things about lameness on
the Net, and dropped in on your blog. I was looking for stuff for my lameness site. Not
sure that your blog was exactly what I needed, but I enjoyed my visit all the same.
