I apply neuroscience to my approach to treating migraines and tinnitus. In my treatment, I target the trifacial nerves, the inner ear nerves, and the plexuses of nerves from the neck (cervical and brachial). I have found this to be very effective in the majority of Migraine cases and tinnitus that is not due to aging.

Besides, acupuncture reduced more headache days and the times of using painkillers and was more effective in reducing the frequency and degree of a headache than western medicine and sham acupuncture”.
