Hello Elena
I am afraid, can not tell you how many sessions exactly you need at the moment. A headache can be experienced due to variety of reasons, acupuncture helps every case individually. I am afraid it is hard to give exact time in that aspect. After we take your case history, there might be really simple life style changes and acupuncture will help you with your symptoms, or you may have other underlying issues are needed to be addressed by other health care professionals. However in general we recommend and see changes around 6-8 sessions.
Hello John, acupuncture helps with muscles spasm as well, yes, however it is better to talk to your doctor or gp if you are in UK about the symptoms you have, there might be some mineral deficiencies, or other pathological issues. It is worth to check with them first, and then get help with acupuncture definitely.
