Headache & Nerve Symptoms
Acupuncture for Headaches, Migraines & Nerve Symptoms — Scottsdale
Headaches, dizziness, and nerve-related symptoms can be disruptive, unpredictable, and difficult to explain. Many people experience symptoms even when imaging and tests appear normal.
Acupuncture is often used to help calm overactive nerve signaling, reduce sensitivity, improve circulation to the head and extremities, and support overall neurological stability.
