Migraine and acupuncture
An option some people use for frequency — never instead of ruling out the dangerous headache.
Symptoms and what they can mean
A diagnosis of migraine should already exist or be in process. Aura, vomiting, days in a dark room. A first thunderclap headache is not migraine until a doctor says so.
What we can do in clinic
Courses of treatment are more informative than a one-off. Keep your preventer unless your neurologist changes it. Steve may treat a neck contribution in the same building.
Red flags and when to see your GP
Worst-ever sudden headache, fever, rash, or neurological deficit — 999 or A&E.
