Since your headaches and migraines are caused by tight muscles in your neck I don't know. They are blocking the pathway to the brain as other meds do so the messages don't get to the brain. But the pain is still happening and there is a toll on your body for having those pains. You can get rid of them without those meds if you want to for all you have to do is loosen the muscles in your neck and the headaches will be gone. The muscles get so tight in the neck area that when the message is sent to the brain about it, the message is so intense all the brain feels is pain, your headache. My neck muscles were tight for over 30 years and this is what finally got me out of the pain. It may need to be done a few times but it is well worth it. Here's how to release those muscles:
Neck
Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your head. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. After 45 seconds, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds.
With your neck in the lowered position, replace your thumbs in under the ears and your fingers behind your head but right next to your skull this time. Press your fingers and thumbs together again and hold. Relax your body while waiting. When the muscles have all released, slowly lift your head until it’s level again, release the pressure but hold your head like that for another 30 seconds.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling.
