Thank you for your question about vertigo. Acupuncture treats every patient as an individual, based on information gathered during the initial visit, including that from feeling the radial pulse and looking at the tongue. Therefore, it is impossible to tell you which acupuncture points the practitioner may use prior to doing the intake.

Lightheadedness can be caused by getting an acupuncture treatment when you are dehydrated or haven’t eaten anything prior to the treatment. Lightheadedness can also occasionally occur if the treatment is too strong (including when too many needles are used) or if the needles are left in for too long.

This is a good question, but one that is difficult to answer. Many factors go into any given patient's response to acupuncture, including, but not limited to, the nature of the specific problem, how long it has been occurring, the overall health of the individual patient, and the severity of the problem. Thus, some patients feel a difference right away, while others may experience little change until having received a number of treatments. If you have been having headaches for a long time, you may need to have five or six treatments before you experience a change.

It is uncommon for acupuncture patients to have negative side effects following treatment, but it does infrequently occur. I do not use Master Tung's treatments, so I suggest you contact your practitioner. He/she needs to know this has occurred and should offer to treat it. You might also consider finding a practitioner who uses another acupuncture approach (such as TCM) to resolve this problem.

Ear (auricular) acupuncture is based on the knowledge that the entire boy is mapped out onto the outside of the ear. Each body part--organs, the brain and nervous system, muscles, and skeleton--is represented, as well as specific complaints and symptoms (such as insomnia). In theory, one can treat any condition using ear acupuncture alone. In practice, most acupuncturists combine these points with body points. One exception is the treatment of trauma and addiction, when a specific ear protocol is used without the addition of body points.

Thank you for your question.
It is not unusual for a person to feel tired or very relaxed just after an acupuncture treatment. However, in most cases, this is very transient. It is possible that the treatment itself, i.e., the choice and/or number of acupuncture points, needs to be adjusted. I would encourage you to discuss it with your acupuncturist.
