Pain Relief: Migraines/Headaches
Acupuncture has long been known to help chronic migraine sufferers have less severe and less frequent pain.
TCM View: Migraines are seen as an imbalance or blockage of Qi (energy flow) and blood in the meridians. Acu-points restore balance, release tension, and improve circulation of Qi and blood.
Bio-Med View: Acupuncture prompts the release of endorphins, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters that reduce pain and promote well being.
It can improve blood circulation and normalize vascular function, easing headache symptoms.
Acupuncture can reduce inflammatory markers that can trigger or worsen migraine attacks.
And since stress is one of the most common migraine triggers, acupuncture’s calming effect on the nervous system can also help reduce attack frequency.
