WHAT ARE MIGRAINE/HEADACHES?

A headache is a symptom of pain in the head or neck region. We all get them occasionally. Most of the time they go away by themselves but sometimes they don't.

 

Headaches can be caused by many factors, the very common ones being stress, hormones, neck, and upper back tension.  Allergies, dehydration, sinus problems, high blood pressure or withdrawal from coffee, alcohol, analgesics can also contribute.

 

Occasionally, the headaches actually relate to a problem in the head: trauma, vascular disorders like intracranial hemorrhage or stroke.

 

There are several types of headaches: tension, cluster, sinus, TMJ, migraine, and pain can vary from slightly annoying to debilitating.

 

 

HOW CAN ACUPUNCTURE HELP FOR MIGRAINES/HEADACHES?

Acupuncture is highly effective in addressing the underlying causes and relieving headaches. The treatments are non-invasive and in most cases will bring immediate relief. 

 

The number of treatments needed is usually between 6 and 10, depending on the severity of your symptoms and how long you have them.
