How does acupuncture treat headaches? It is way more than just Tylenol!
There are multiple meridians on the head. The headache can be at the front, the sides, the back, the vertex or even the whole head. Depend on which meridians are involved in the headache, the acupuncture points selected can be very different. Except the location of the pain on the head, what the pain feels like also makes the treatment different. The pain can be dull, heavy aching, stabbing, throbbing or empty. The cause of each type of pain is different, the treatment strategies vary a lot. For certain cases, the headache only comes at certain time of the day or certain time of each month, such as afternoon headache, pre-menstrual headache, etc. The way of treating time specific headache is also different.
