Acupuncture for Migraine and Headache

Migraine headache and tension headache

Quite often when people complain headache are mostly either tension headache or migraine headache.  Tension headache is due to the tension in the muscle of neck and head.  Migraine headache believed caused by the spasm of blood vessels in the brain.

But lot of time, clinically the headache is the combination of both.

Acupuncture treatment is significantly effective for both acute headache and chronic headache. All over the world, more and more researches suggested acupuncture is an effective natural way to relief headache and the duration of the effects is impressively long lasting.

Acupuncture can instantly increase the flow of Qi and blood by inserting a hair fine metallic needle to the specific acupuncture points.  All the points are along the path way called meridians or channels that flow through the whole body externally and internally to connect the organ systems. The increased flow can relax and dilate the small blood vessels around the needling areas to either clear the stagnation or reduce the stress, therefore the spasm of vessels or inflammation of muscles are automatically improved.

This gentle way of improving the flow of Qi and blood significantly benefits the chronic headache conditions.  On top of it, the enhanced immune system also is a great help for prevention.

Emotional stress is a common reason to cause headache, too. When we treat patients with migraine or headache, to release the emotional stress is one of the must with acupuncture.

In nearly 30 years of clinical practice, we believe pain relief is only the first step to treat headache, stress reduction and reconstruction of a healthy life style (including proper diet, exercise) are the important follow up steps.

In Houston Acupuncture and Herb Clinic, we combine acupuncture with meditated breathing technique during the treatment of migraine and headache. With the special designed breathing technique, patients can receive the optimal results almost immediately.

Our goal is not only to provide services to eliminate pain, also to emphasis on introducing and educating patients a harmonized healthy style for maintaining the quality of life as well as prevention of diseases.
