About Migraines & Headaches
What you should know
Acupuncture has one of the strongest evidence bases among all conditions it treats — and migraine and headache management is one of the clearest examples. Multiple clinical trials, including Cochrane reviews, have found acupuncture as effective as prophylactic medication for reducing migraine frequency, with fewer side effects. It works by modulating the trigeminal pain pathways involved in migraines, reducing cortical hyperexcitability, releasing cervical and suboccipital tension that triggers headache patterns, and regulating the hormonal and neurochemical factors that drive recurrence.
Our approach
How Acupuncture Reduces Migraine Frequency
Treatment is designed to work on two levels: acute care during a migraine or headache episode, and preventive care to reduce how often they occur. Preventive treatments involve points that regulate the liver (a key organ in migraine pathology in Chinese medicine), calm the nervous system, release cervical and upper thoracic tension, and address any hormonal or digestive contributors. For hormonally-triggered migraines, treatment timing within the menstrual cycle can be strategic. Most patients see a meaningful reduction in headache frequency and severity within 4–6 sessions of preventive care.
Acupuncture for migraines and headaches may be appropriate if you have recurring migraines (with or without aura), chronic or frequent tension headaches, hormone-related headaches including menstrual migraines, cervicogenic headaches that originate in the neck, or if preventive medication has been ineffective or has side effects you want to avoid. We accept most major insurance. New patients receive a full intake and history.
