Acupuncture and Dry Needling in Clifton, Bristol
Acupuncture can be used for short-term relief of tension-type headaches. In Clifton that tends to mean the screen kind a head that has been at the same angle since nine in the morning.
The needling itself is not the interesting part. What is useful is that it goes at the neck and shoulder muscles from a different direction to massage, and some people respond to one far better than the other for no reason either of us can predict.
If you have already tried the massage route for this and it only ever held for a day or two, this is a reasonable next thing to try.
