Anyone tried Dry Needling or Acupuncture for Pain or Neuropathy?

I have read about cervicogenic headaches. How are you being treated? I have never had nausea or auras with my headaches so don’t think they are migraines, plus I just started having them with neck pain.

Once I it was strongly suggested I had CH and not migraine, I started with some exercises the Sports Med doc demonstrated, as I could not afford PT (even with insurance). I had also been reading up on headaches on PainScience.com and corresponded briefly with the owner, as well as with a Doctor of PT on another website. The Sports Med doc had given me an Rx for tizanidine and I used about 10 of those (out of 30). I did all the exercises for mid back, shoulders, and pectoralis muscles on my own.
Just an FYI, migraines very often don't have any kind of aura, visual, olfactory, abdominal, or anything, but neck pain is common with migraine. It's hard to distinguish sometimes. Cervicogenic headache often does NOT have neck pain because the pain is referred, felt in the head when the source is in the neck.
