I have been going for acupuncture treatment for post-traumatic headaches. I have never had tingling in the legs because of acupuncture.

Did you tell the acupuncturist when it happened? He/she should have been able to do something to get rid of the tingling in the legs.... I would not go back to that acupuncturist.

The acupuncture has definitely made a difference in my headaches. I used to get week- long migraines (after my accident). I still get migraines, but they are not week-long, and they are further apart.

Also, I came in once with the beginning of a migraine, and the acupuncture treatment totally got rid of it. So, if you are getting migraines, it is worth trying again with a different acupuncturist.

I had gone to someone else earlier in my recovery, and I thought that this other acupuncturist gave a good treatment, but it made me feel like it overstimulated my head, and I did not feel comfortable enough with this acupuncturist to tell him how I felt, so I just stopped going.

It was only when I couldn't stand the migraines anymore that I sought out another acupuncturist. And I am glad I did.

I was hoping that the acupuncture would also help with the awful fatigue and body aches. So far it hasn't done anything for that.... And I still get headaches, but it has made a difference in the quality and quantity of the headaches.

Because of your bad experience I understand your hesitation in seeing someone else. If you do decide to try again, I would urge you to let the acupuncturist know what you are experiencing, whatever it is.

I hope that you find something that helps the migraines. I know how horrible they are.
