Tension Headaches vs. Acupuncture! Acupuncture Wins!

How many of us sit at the computer too long?  Our eyes get tired.  Our shoulders curl up into our ears.  Maybe your jaw and facial muscles even get tight.  The headache starts at the base of your skull and tightens across the back of your skull until it reaches all the way to your inner eyebrows. 
Or maybe your commute allows for tension that starts at your hands as you white knuckle your steering wheel.    The tension crawls up your arms, into your shoulders, up to your head. 

Acupuncture holds a niche when it comes to battling the tension headache.  A few well placed needles allow for increased circulation and the tight muscles and fascia will melt like butter.  Use regular acupuncture sessions to retrain your body so that it doesn't grab all the tension and place it on your shoulders and head.  After a few sessions, your body will understand that it can allow the extra energy to circulate and be integrated into the healthy balance of your body.  Once your body hears the message loud and clear, you can come in for monthly tune-ups.  Use exercise to prevent a tension build up in between sessions.
