Headache is a condition involving
discomfort or pain that occurs in one or more areas of the head, face, mouth,
or neck. Headache can be chronic, recurrent, or occasional. The pain can be
mild or severe enough to disrupt daily activities.
Headaches are commonly classified by
their symptoms into the following categories:
The most common treatment for
chronic headaches is over-the-counter non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs), which include aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or naproxen, used
individually or in combination. Unfortunately, the use of these medicines can
lead to side effects. However, acupuncture can offer powerful relief without
the side effects that prescription and over-the-counter drugs can cause.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine have been used for thousands of years
to relieve headaches, as well as their underlying causes. If you would like to
