Start with a chiropractor
Pain can be referred from places other than the head. This deals with headaches but the principle works for all kinds of pain.
Muscles get knots called trigger points. These make the muscles tight causing them to press on nerves and other thing.
#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.

I have had a couple of rounds of back surgery so obviously get quite substantial pain. Painkillers are the obvious way to go for pain, but i have recently started prolothereapy which is doing absolute wonders for me, I have gone from daily pain to maybe once a week or if I do excessive physical work etc. Have a look at www.prolotherapy.com which outlines what it is all about and have a chat to your GP if you are interested they should be able to recommend someone who can do it. GPs generally do it, so it wont cost a fortune like going to specialists. If you want to know more I am happy to tell you my experiences with it.

Our latest research has enabled us treating it within 10 mins also; but i can't explain, i do it.
You can approach an acupuncturist, it is the reliable treatment elsewhere.
