Acupuncture for Migraines--Effective Relief

How Acupuncture Helps with Migraines

Acupuncture is a time-tested therapy that stimulates the body's natural healing mechanisms, reducing the frequency and severity of migraines. Here's how acupuncture can help:

Regulates Blood Flow: Improves circulation to the head, reducing tension and alleviating migraine triggers.
Balances Hormones: Helps regulate hormonal fluctuations that may contribute to migraines.
Reduces Stress: Acupuncture promotes relaxation and lowers stress levels, a common migraine trigger.
Relieves Muscle Tension: Loosens tight neck, shoulders, and head muscles that can exacerbate migraines.
Enhances Nervous System Function: Helps to regulate pain perception and sensitivity to external triggers, while releasing beta endorphins to relieve pain.

Common Migraine Triggers We Address

Our acupuncture treatments can help manage migraines caused by a variety of factors, including:

Stress and Anxiety: Chronic stress can lead to tension headaches and migraines.

Hormonal Imbalances: Menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause can all contribute to migraine frequency.

Dietary Triggers: We guide nutritional adjustments to certain foods and beverages that can trigger migraines.

Poor Sleep Quality: Lack of sleep or irregular sleep patterns can exacerbate migraine symptoms.

Environmental Factors: Bright lights, loud noises, and weather changes can trigger migraine attacks.

What Our Patients Say About Their Fertility Experience

This place is really good. I was trying to become pregnant for around 2 years and my IVF doctor(Dr styer from CCRM) referred this place. I started going for acupuncture for fertility and doctor Jose Ruiz helped me in getting pregnant through acupuncture treatment and I am finally three months pregnant now. I will recommend this place for anyone who are trying to become pregnant. Also Jose Ruiz is very kind and friendly and he will ask all questions related to your health before he starts his treatment and every time I go for treatment he asks if we have any changes in our health. Jose Ruiz also treats stress, anxiety and other things. Its worth going to this place.

My husband and I had been trying to conceive for a little over a year when we first met with Jose. We had been meeting with a fertility specialist, but after the suggestion of a colleague decided to add another more holistic approach. I approached acupuncture with an open mind understanding that it would not work over night. Jose came highly recommended and they were right!! He did an amazing job of answering every single one of my questions and easing my anxious mind through the conceiving process. He highlighted that it takes 90 days for eggs to improve and see the effects of what we were doing. I guess that’s all we needed… with Jose’s help we were able to conceive. We are expecting a little girl in April 2021!

I went to Jose for about a year while struggling with infertility & doing fertility treatments. I really cannot recommend him enough. To be honest, ever since the initial phone call with Jose, I felt that he was more thorough & informative than most of my doctors were. Jose is very friendly, genuine, knowledgeable, & great at what he does.

As I sit here with my 3 mo old baby, I can confidently say that acupuncture played a huge role in the success of my pregnancy. I truly believe this was due to acupuncture calming my nervous system & preparing my body to successfully carry my baby. I 100% recommend Jose and cannot thank him enough!! - 5/01/2024

I got acupuncture with Jose to supplement my IVF treatment in April 2023. I started the treatment in early April and had my egg retrieval by the end of May. I started to see Jose after 4 failed IVF cycles from which we had zero PGT normal embryos. After the treatment with him, I had 24 eggs retrieved and we ended up with 2 PGT normal embryos from that cycle. In my previous cycles, I used to have around 18-20 eggs on the day of the stimulation. But never many of them made it to the retrieval day. In the previous 4 cycles, they retrieved 11, 4, 16, and 9 eggs respectively and we never had a normal embryo from those cycles. From those 4 cycles, we sent 4 embryos in total for PGT (1 embryo per cycle) and none of them were normal. After the acupuncture treatment with Jose, 24 eggs made it to the retrieval day, we got 4 embryos, and 2 of them were PGT normal. Jose’s treatment did wonders for me. We were shocked about this result. We are so grateful to him! His holistic approach kept me relaxed, positive, and excited for good results, and obviously helped the eggs to develop evenly at a similar pace, which is very important. We can’t thank him enough! Initially, my husband was very skeptical about acupuncture and generally about non-Western treatment options. But he is now so grateful that I insisted that we invest in acupuncture too. Your doctor too might be skeptical about acupuncture. However, a standard IVF treatment alone works rarely for many women.
Also, before Jose, I tried two acupuncturists for a few sessions. Because I didn’t feel much difference, I dropped it. However, after one session with Jose, I saw a big difference physically and mentally. - 5/01/2024
