Headache Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been found to reduce the frequency of headaches in people suffering from migraines. A systematic review of 22 clinical trials involving almost 5000 people found that there was a 50% drop in almost 59% of patients receiving acupuncture treatment. Even more encouraging was the discovery that acupuncture’s positive effects lasted more than 6 months.


Patients can use migraine acupuncture as an alternative to conventional treatments or use it alongside them. According to a medical review, almost half of patients seeking acupuncturist services said they reduced their dependence on painkillers after receiving migraine acupuncture treatments. The same study showed that people who use acupuncture together with other treatments have the highest chance of success.

Acupuncture works by restoring the flow of positive energy throughout your body and removes the negative energy that causes pain. Put more scientifically, acupuncture needles stimulate the nerves to release hormones like endorphins which elicit a response from your body. By stimulating of the immune and circulation system in this way migraines and tension headaches are alleviated.

Release of endorphins which help to improve our mood

Relieving of tight muscles in the neck and back
