At Mr. Yu Master Acupuncture & Healthcare, we use a comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to support people experiencing headaches, including tension headaches, migraine-type headaches, stress-related headaches, and neck-related headaches.
From a TCM perspective, headaches are often associated with Qi and blood stagnation, liver Qi tension, wind invasion, or poor circulation to the head and neck. By restoring balance, improving circulation, and releasing muscular tension, TCM helps reduce headache frequency and intensity while supporting overall wellbeing.
