Your starting plan
6–10 visits • 1–2 visits/week, then reassess. This is a preliminary care plan, not an average time to heal or a guaranteed result.
What to expect
Possible goals: fewer or less disruptive headaches. Prevention is measured over time.
After treatment
Keep meals, hydration and sleep consistent; log headache days and triggers.
How we track progress
Headache days, severity, medication use and missed activities.
After 2–4 treatments
We will review your response and daily function, then refine your timeline, visit frequency and next steps.
When to seek medical care
A sudden worst-ever headache, new neurologic deficits or headache with fever/neck stiffness needs urgent care.
Acupuncture is supportive care. It does not replace medical diagnosis, necessary treatment or emergency services.
