Acupuncture + migraine 🌿
Many of my patients who suffer from migraine, tension headaches, sinus pain or stress related headaches will understand the intense pain and suffering that comes with it. Debilitating for some and often triggered by anxiety, changes in weather, hormonal changes, weather changes to name few. Sometimes even causing intolerance to light, food, differences smells and triggering nausea, vomiting and even slurred speech in some cases.
Acupuncture has been shown to reduce the severity and frequency of headaches and migraine - especially with regular ‘maintenance appointments’. The needle stimulates the nerves to release hormones/endorphins, that trigger a response from your body. This immune and circulation system stimulation may be used to relieve acute pain during a migraine or tension headache and also as a preventative.
If migraine or tension headaches affect your life, acupuncture could be just what you need ❤️
