Dry needling for headaches

Check out the red splotches on the diagram (also known as referral patterns of a trigger point); do you experience pain in any of those places?

Or maybe you have some of the following symptoms: ⁠

• Frequent headaches,

• Unexplained tearing up or eye reddening⁠

• Sinusitis and sore throat⁠

• Ear popping⁠

If so, dry needling of the Sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, might be your cure. ⁠

Most often the SCM is responsible for sinus headaches and top of the head pain. ⁠

Cool huh?!⁠

The red splotches tell you where you might be feeling pain, and the black x's show you where you probably need a muscle released by dry needling. ⁠

⁠It's magic! ⁠
