Research

A recent systematic review of 22 clinical trials involving 4985 people concluded that there is evidence that regular acupuncture treatments reduce the frequency of headache in individuals with migraine, and that the effect may be similar to that observed with preventive medications. The review found that the frequency of headaches is dropped by 50% or more in up to 59% of individuals receiving acupuncture and this effect can persist for more than 6 months after completing a course of treatment.

What to expect

We treat headaches with a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine and acupressure and we may recommend dietary and lifestyle changes to support the treatments. Our goal is reduce the frequency and severity of your headaches and to stop them from coming back.

How does it work?

Acupuncture and acupressure stimulate the release of natural painkilling hormones called endorphins, relax tight muscles in the head, neck, face and jaws, regulate blood supply to the brain and interrupt neurological pain loops in the brain stem.
