Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body with fine, sterile needles. These points are carefully chosen to promote healing and reduce pain. For headaches and migraines, acupuncture helps in several keyways:
 

• Reduce Pain and Inflammation: Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, while improving blood flow to the head and neck to relieve tension and reduce inflammation.

• Address Underlying Causes: Whether your headaches are triggered by stress, muscle tension, hormonal imbalances, or other factors, acupuncture targets the root causes to provide long-term relief.

• Relax Tension and Stress: Acupuncture encourages relaxation, easing tight muscles and reducing stress, which are common triggers for both headaches and migraines.

• Balance the Nervous System: By calming the nervous system, acupuncture reduces the frequency and severity of migraines while improving overall well-being.
   

Conditions We Treat

​

Acupuncture is effective for various types of headaches, including:

• Tension Headaches: Relieve the constant pressure and pain caused by muscle tension in the neck and shoulders.

• Migraines: Reduce the frequency and severity of debilitating migraines, including those with visual disturbances or nausea.

• Cluster Headaches: Alleviate the sharp, cyclical pain associated with cluster headaches.

• Chronic Headaches: Address long-term, recurring headaches that interfere with your daily life.
   

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Your journey to relief begins with a thorough consultation where we assess your symptoms, triggers, and overall health. During your acupuncture session:

• Fine needles will be gently placed at specific points on your body, such as the head, hands, feet, or neck.

• Sessions are deeply relaxing, lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, with most patients reporting significant relief after just a few treatments.

• We may also provide lifestyle advice or recommend complementary techniques like cupping, herbal medicine, or dietary adjustments to enhance your results.
