How Acupuncture Can Help with Migraine and Other Headaches
Acupuncture can help with migraine and other headaches by stimulating specific points on the body to restore balance to the flow of energy, or “Qi” (pronounced “chee”). This technique is based on traditional Chinese medicine principles, which view migraines as a result of energy blockages or imbalances in the body. Here’s how acupuncture may help:
- Pain Relief: Acupuncture may stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. This can reduce the intensity of pain during a migraine.
- Improved Blood Flow: Acupuncture may help improve blood circulation in the brain and throughout the body, which could help alleviate the vascular component of migraines.
- Reduction of Inflammation: It’s believed that acupuncture can reduce inflammation, which may contribute to the frequency and severity of migraines.
- Stress Reduction: Stress is a common trigger for migraines, and acupuncture can have a relaxing effect on the nervous system, helping to reduce stress levels, thus potentially preventing migraines from occurring.
- Regulation of Neurotransmitters: Acupuncture can also help balance neurotransmitters like serotonin, which are often involved in migraine attacks.
- Muscle Relaxation: If muscle tension in the neck or shoulders is contributing to migraines, acupuncture can help release this tension, which may provide relief.
Many studies suggest that acupuncture may be effective in reducing both the frequency and severity of migraines, but results can vary from person to person.
