I've heard that acupuncture can help treat headaches. Is that true?

Yes, acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been used for centuries to treat headaches. It involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body and it is believed that this stimulates the body’s natural healing process. Acupuncture may also reduce stress, which can be a contributing factor in headaches. Studies have shown that acupuncture can provide relief from migraine symptoms, tension-type headaches, cluster headaches, and sinus headaches.
