Re: Muscular Tension Headaches
Dravyk...my husband has a huge, "Black and Decker" looking back massager. I hate to hold the thing because the vibrations kill my hands, but it works so well on his back. (He's a computer jockey, too.)
With regard to the "nerve clusters": if you have someone there, have them find the exact spot of the nerve cluster. You'll know when it's found because the pain will make you shriek. OK, have that person basically grind it with a thumb. (I call it "beating the hell out of it" when my husband does it.) Just grit your teeth and take it for as long as you can stand it. You may find that the pain stops immediately, though. Either way, it will help the nerve cluster. My back doctor did that to my back. Of course, he followed it up with a shot of Lidocaine into the nerve cluster, but the massage itself helped.
