Unlike regular headaches, migraines are caused by abnormal brain activity that affects blood flow, and they can be triggered by factors like stress, certain foods, hormonal changes, lack of sleep, or bright lights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Migraines can disrupt daily life, making it hard to work, care for family, or even leave the house during an attack. While there&#8217;s no one-size-fits-all cure, migraines can be managed through medication, lifestyle changes, and identifying triggers. Effective management often includes stress reduction, proper hydration, and relaxation techniques to reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Benefits_of_Massage_for_Migraine_Management\"><\/span>Key Benefits of Massage for Migraine Management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reduces Muscle Tension<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>:<\/strong> Tension in the neck, shoulders, and head often triggers migraines.
