I don't know if it does. I think it might because you would have some tension to release from the pain of the headache. If I were you, I would get a referral for a month of sessions twice a week and talk it over with the therapist.
Yesterday Michael massaged my first ribs and it was so painful. I didn't know that the pain extended that far down but he said it is all connected. Today I woke up with a big headache and it's probably from trying something different. I hadn't had a headache in about two months so something must have happened to stir things up.
He was trying to loosen things for the surgery that is scheduled today at noon at Georgetown with Dr. Ducic.
We decided to go ahead with it since the myofacial cured the headaches but the Titanium mesh is still entrapping the C2 nerves and the C1 is involved down to my first rib and back of shoulder. My neck is killing me and I still can't turn my head. The pins and needles on the scalp and ir stings when I touch it. I'm still behind Myofacial release therapy but I have to do this surgery today because all three nerves: Lesser, greater occipital and dorsal were so damaged beyond repair from my AN surgery. The worst thing for AN surgery follow up that I experienced was my Summer and Fall taking Voltaren, then Lyrica, and finally Lithium. Never go the drug route...at least internally. Right now I am using Voltaren cream to rub on my neck and the scalp.
Will write to you on Saturday when I get home.
