Tension Headache – Diagnosis & Treatments

Massage Therapy

Unlike normal massages, targeted or medical massage therapy can be an effective method to relieve tension headaches. During this process, a professional therapist will apply pressure on your shoulders and neck to stimulate blood flows and alleviate the pain. The only drawback is that this treatment is quite expensive. Therefore, it is advisable to find out if this service can be covered by your health insurance. You can also try this at home by massaging your hands, head, and face. Make sure to apply gentle force to maximize the effects. [7]
