Migraines and Headaches š£
Did you know acupuncture can help with headaches and migraines.
Lauraās migraines have been creeping back in lately so we keep these at bay with regular needling sessions. They may look strange but these thin needles are generally pain free and help to reduce stress which is a common trigger for headaches.
āThere is some evidence to show that acupuncture can help prevent migraine attacks. Itās been shown to reduce how many migraine days people get in clinical trials. In some people, it may work as well as preventive medicines for migraine, but with fewer side effects.
There is more evidence for acupuncture being helpful in episodic migraine than chronic migraine. Chronic migraine is when you have 15 or more headache days a month.
As well as a possible direct effect on migraine, some people may find acupuncture indirectly helps with their migraine too. Acupuncture may help you to relax or feel less stressed. As stress is a common trigger for migraine, this may then help to reduce triggers for an attack.ā - The Migraine Trust
