Try this.

Fill the wash basin with hot water (not too hot or...) and soak your scalp (no need to remove it first :-) for a few minutes. Use a face towel to rinse all area covered by hair (hair on top of head, not else where...). Do twice a day if you can. Not the same thing as a hot shower.

This only works for tension related symptoms. You still may need to check with the doc.
