    I've been having some of these recently. It's helped me. Massaging the neck and back helps too. My therapist said my neck is out of place coz of tension then that causes all sorts of problems

    Chiropractor yes they can help with all kinds of headaches when I was still with my wife I'd go there for my back and she would go for her headaches and we both found relief of our respective symptoms to a great degree. Can't hurt to try. Acupuncture? Not sure.

    I'm truly glad you asked about this Emily. I was wondering about this myself. I'd hope it helps in some way. I've been abit to nervous to look into it.
