In Chinese Medicine, migraines often relate to tension, internal heat or disrupted circulation rising toward the head, affecting how Qi and Blood move through the neck and temples.
When circulation becomes restricted or excessive in this area, it can create throbbing pain, sensitivity to light or sound, and tightness through the neck and shoulders. Triggers such as stress, hormonal shifts, poor sleep or dietary strain can contribute to this pattern.
Treatment commonly involves selecting points along the head, neck and shoulders to ease tension and support circulation. Additional points on the hands, feet or legs may be used to help regulate how Qi moves through the body and reduce pressure in the head.
Acupuncture is used to encourage smoother circulation and help settle overactive patterns. In some cases, gentle Tui Na (Chinese Massage) may be applied to reduce tension. Lifestyle guidance may also be discussed to support sleep, stress management and dietary triggers.
The aim is to help the head and neck feel more settled and allow the body to regulate more evenly.
