Many people suffer from headaches and migraines. Being tired of suffering and taking pain killers, they frequently seek acupuncture. You need to understand that neither headache nor migraine is a disease, but rather a symptom which is revealing to you that there is a health problem causing headache or migraine.  New patients are usually seemed to be surprised when practitioner is asking them which part of the head is achy. For instance, some people have ache originated in a forehead or temples, others complaint about one-sided or occipital headache, or the whole head aches. Each location on the head is corresponding to a particular organ. Also, the characteristic of the pain might vary from mild and annoying ache to a severe pain.
