The most common types of headaches are tension and migraine headaches. One way to tell the difference between the two, is by the signs and symptoms. A tension headache is a dull achy pain often accompanied with muscle tension in the neck or upper back, and can be caused by fatigue, depression, noise or stress. Tension headaches are often muscular in origin. A migraine headache is a throbbing pulsating pain on one or both sides of the head, sometimes accompanied by an aur...a (light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, odour sensitivity or nausea) and can be connected to hormonal fluctuations or weather patterns. Migraines are often the symptom of a circulatory problem, which explains the throbbing feeling in the head. Massage therapy can help treat a tension headache by means of relaxing the muscles in the back and neck. Migraine headaches can sometimes be prevented when treated between migraines. Some patients can sense a warning before their migraine comes on, and this is the ideal time for a massage to potentially abort the migraine.
