Migraine and Headache Sufferers
Acupuncture Can Help Stop the Pain
The pain that headache and
migraine sufferers endure can impact every aspect of their lives. Acupuncture
can offer powerful relief without the side effects that prescription and
over-the-counter drugs can cause. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine have
been used to relieve Headaches and Migraines, as well as their underlying
causes, for thousands of years and is a widely accepted form of treatment for
headaches in our society. There are acupuncturists that specialize in the
treatment of headaches and migraines and can help you manage your pain with
acupuncture and Chinese herbs alone, or as part of a comprehensive treatment
program.
- Migraine
is thought to be associated with an abnormal spasm of the blood vessels in
the brain and is therefore referred to as a "vascular headache". Tension
headache, which used to be referred to as a "muscle contraction headache",
is associated with tension in muscles of the head and neck.
- Acupuncture
is effective for both migraine and tension headaches. Careful evaluation
is necessary to differentiate between these two conditions since the
acupuncture treatment I give is different for each. For migraines,
acupuncture treatment depends on whether the patient comes into my office
experiencing acute pain or is seeking preventative treatment in between
migraine attacks.
- Prevention
should be the long-term goal. In my clinical practice, I have found
acupuncture to be quite effective for managing the acute pain of mild to
moderate migraine attacks
