Headaches have many causes. The types of headaches treated by a Registered Massage Therapist include:
Tension Headache: this most common headache is likely due to chemical changes triggering brain nerves and blood vessels
Migraine Headache: scientists don’t exactly know why migraines occur, but they probably result from swelling in blood vessels and nerves that surround the brain
Cluster Headache: these are intense headaches that start around one eye, then spread to nearby areas of the face
Sinus Headache: due to inflammation, usually in the frontal and maxillary sinuses
A Registered Massage Therapist may help:
