What to Expect During Your Acupuncture Session for Headaches and Migraines
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation to understand your headache history, triggers, and overall health. Our practitioners will design a customized acupuncture plan tailored to your specific needs. During your session, fine, sterile needles will be gently inserted into targeted points to stimulate energy flow (Qi), promote relaxation, and reduce pain. Most clients find the treatment relaxing and experience relief after a few sessions. For chronic conditions, a series of treatments may be recommended for long-term results.

How Acupuncture Can Help with Headaches and Migraines
Acupuncture has been used for centuries to treat headaches and migraines by supporting the body’s natural healing mechanisms. It works by stimulating specific points that restore the flow of energy (Qi), relax muscles, improve circulation, and release natural pain-relieving chemicals. This holistic approach not only targets headache pain but also addresses the triggers and imbalances that lead to recurrent episodes, offering long-term relief without relying on medication.
