Yesโ€”massage can reduce neck and scalp muscle tension that triggers migraines. Regular sessions, paired with posture correction and stress management, often lower attack frequency and intensity, though results vary and we recommend individualized plans with your therapist and physician.

Frequency depends on pain severity and goals. Many start with weekly or biweekly sessions, transitioning to monthly maintenance as symptoms improve. Your therapist will create a plan that balances relief, recovery and self-care between appointments.

Massage is generally safe but may cause temporary soreness, fatigue, or bruising. We screen for contraindicationsโ€”recent injuries, blood thinners, or certain medical conditionsโ€”so inform your therapist about your health history before treatment.

Coverage varies by plan and diagnosis. Some insurers reimburse medically necessary therapeutic massage for chronic pain with physician referral or documented treatment plans. Our staff can assist with verifying benefits and providing receipts or treatment notes for claims.

Expect an initial assessment, targeted hands-on therapy, and feedback-driven adjustments. Therapists may use deep tissue, trigger point release, or myofascial techniques and recommend stretches or home care to support pain reduction between sessions.
