There is no substitute for a person who can work on the problems. Here is what helps headaches....
Muscles get knots called trigger points. These make the muscles tight causing them to press on nerves and other thing.
Pain can be referred from places other than the head.
#1 The first thing is to take a couple swigs of molasses or eat a couple of bananas. They contain magnisium and potassium both of which muscles need.
#2 WATER she should be drinking 1/2 gallon minimum. The head of neurology at UCDavis likens a body running low on water to a car running low on oil (the engine can seize).
Get a good (deep tissue) massage (to loosen the trigger points) on the back, shoulders and neck. Make sure to press up at the base of the skull where it meets the spine.
You rub or lightly scratch everywhere on your head. You will hit spots that are tender these are trigger points. The idea is to rub across them 6-12 times per session up to six times per day until they go away.
For more information on trigger points read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.

Walmart has a nice selection
They have one for your neck that is not listed on the site. It cost about $10 and works great and you can take the massager out and used the pillow anywhere. I bought one for my mom becuase she has problems with her neck. And my dad got one from there thats not listed as well for his back. It cost about $20 and has a heating option on it, cordless and you can use it in your car. Hope this helps!

Don't waste your money on the ones that vibrate..they don't help anyway....you should get one that goes in a chair and "kneeds" massages..they are between $50-$100. Last place I've seen them is Elder Beerman and CVS Pharmacy.
