Over the years I have seen my a doctor, chiropractor and a massage therapist regarding my headaches and back and neck pain. I have had some success with all of them but still not enough to be satisfied. I am now looking at acupuncture and am curious if it would yield positive results.
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can often be effective in treating chronic pain conditions and headaches. Further, idiopathic pain often responds to acupuncture better than conventional treatments. If the back and neck pain are a result of structural deformations, such as a herniated disc, acupuncture will not make the pain go away for good. It would however help in long term management of the pain. Acupuncture is a therapy process, and you must be ready to commit to a course of treatments over a period of time. Once will usually garner only very minor and very temporary changes in your condition. I personally recommend 4 to 6 treatments in the beginning to establish how your body and condition will respond to treatment. If you have no results, or minimal results after 4 to 6 treatments you may want to explore other health-care treatments.

Should I be concerned about this? I am not one to run to the doctor But it’s just the right side of my head that hurts. I find that strange. And it wont go away. I will take a Tylenol and as soon as it wears off my pain is still there. I never get headaches. But on the rare occasion that I do I can take a Tylenol and it’s gone for good.
talking too much painkillers isn’t good, headaches usually means your body is in trouble or something is wrong or it could mean that you’re tired or haven’t got enough sleep, it could be stress too or migraine. But right now you should be worried, consult a doctor a headache can be nothing to the the worst, a doctor will tell you more about it. A usual headache goes up to 24 hours before stopping resting is a good thing. Please be concerned, a headache for 4 days is usually not that good

What good would money do if you are old and decrepit? Would money still make you ” happy “? Most probably not!

So I have a headache that’s on the right side of my head and that’s never happened to me before. Is it normal or maybe something else. Also, my throat is a little sore. Thanks for the help
Actually, headaches that only happen on one side of the head is called a migraine- headache, I get them a lot. The best thing is to take ibuprofen as soon as you feel it start to come on. If that doesn’t help then find a quiet dark place. Sometimes the smell of pepper-mint can really help.

Most simply stated, chronic daily headache (CDH) is headache that occurs 15 or more days a month.
Doctors divide chronic daily headache into a number of subcategories:
* Primary CDH: not attributable to an underlying disorder
o Shorter than four hours duration
+ chronic cluster headache
+ chronic paroxysmal hemicrania
o Longer than four hours duration
+ chronic tension-type headache
+ chronic Migraine (sometimes called transformed Migraine)
+ new daily persistent headache
+ hemicrania continua
* Secondary CDH: attributable to an underlying disorder
o post-traumatic headache
o attributable to cervical spine disorders
o associated with vascular disorders such as arteriovenous malformation, arteritis, subdural hematoma
o associated with nonvascular intercranial disorders such as intracranial hypertension, infection, or neoplasm
Studies have also shown that CDH patients were more likely to snore and report problems with sleep than episodic headache and Migraine patients.
