Headaches are a common problem. Many people experience headaches. The problem can be quite debilitating with the symptoms ranging from a few hours to days or even weeks.

The fact is, acupuncture is one of the least dangerous medical treatments that is in existence. Although it is possible for problems to occur, it is very uncommon and if the doctor is an expert and utilizes sterile means when inserting the needles there is little need for worry. The needles themselves rarely hurt whenever they enter into the skin and often make the individual feel either unwound or even rejuvenated.
