Migraine headache pain interrupts life. People who are incredibly strong can be crippled when a migraine strikes. Pain throbs on the side of the head and often goes behind the eyes. It can be so intense that it can cause vomiting. There are many triggers for migraine, but the most common are contracted veins and stresses of all kinds.
There are many Western medications for migraines, but Western medications are not always effective or quick acting and most have somewhat unpleasant side effects. Sometimes the only way to be seen by an MD immediately is to go to urgent care or even the emergency room, both expensive alternatives to a regular doctor’s visit. Worse, after the medicine wears off, the headache may come back.
A much more affordable and effective way to get rid of a migraine is with acupuncture and herbs. With these tools, we can stop a migraine in its tracks. Most of our patients feel significantly better after just one treatment. For some patients, one treatment is all it takes.
Medical researchers confirm that acupuncture is a powerful ally against migraine pain. United States and British medical doctors found that acupuncture can reduce the number of days of migraine a person has a year, as well as reducing the amount of medication they need and the number of days off work needed. They published their findings in the “British Medical Journal” (2004). Earlier research in 2001 by Italian researchers showed similar results.
