Relaxes muscles → eases tension in the neck, shoulders, and jaw.
Balances the nervous system → lowers sensitivity to pain signals.
Reduces stress hormones → lowers cortisol, one of the biggest triggers of tension headaches.
A 2016 Cochrane Review confirmed acupuncture reduces frequency of migraines compared with no treatment.
