If you suffer from migraines, you already know how they can impact your life, causing pounding and pressure in your head. Migraines can be so severe they can be debilitating, affecting your life. One of the methods your chiropractor can use to treat migraines is acupuncture.

Acupuncture is an ancient form of medicine, dating back thousands of years. It’s been used effectively for a variety of conditions including migraines, to relieve pain and promote wellness. Acupuncture works by stimulating your body’s natural energy, boosting circulation, and enhancing your body’s natural healing processes.
During your acupuncture treatment, ultra-thin needles are placed just underneath your skin, at exact locations along your body’s energy centers. The energy centers, known as meridians, release body energy to heal problem areas and promote wellness. Once the needles are in place, you will relax for 20 to 40 minutes. As you relax, you might feel a slight sensation of heaviness or tingling.
People get relief from migraines with acupuncture because acupuncture treatment will:
- Increase blood flow and oxygenation to your body’s tissues and organs
- Promote production of natural anti-inflammatory substances like cortisone
- Promote production of natural pain relievers like endorphins
- Increase stimulation of nerves associated with brain and body chemistry
Treating migraines is just one condition which acupuncture can help. You can also benefit from acupuncture treatment if you have:
- Post-surgical pain
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Blood pressure problems
- Asthma and hay fever
- Nausea, vomiting, and ulcers
- Lower back and neck pain
