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

    My story starts here: older mom, son now 4 years going to be 5 years soon, trying to conceive for sometime with no luck so went to my regular OB. She checked FSH which was 75 and AMH <0.03. Got a phone call that I was entering "menopause" and may not conceive. I was referred to fertility specialist who said egg donor and natural conception chances <5%. What everyone ignored was that I was under severe chronic stress for 1 year and 1 year ago my FSH was 4. My fertility specialist disregarded it and said stress was irrelevant with such high numbers and that it was "natural progression" premature ovarian failure though I was still having menses and there is no such family history. So I started to do some research on stress and fertility (very strong correlation by way) and found Jose through American Board of Reproductive Accupuncture Medicine (only 4 in MA). And YES reproductive acupuncturists treat differently than general accupuncture for fertility. I had only missed 1 missed 1 menstrual cycle (that too related to stress and sleep deprivation.) I got my menses back after 2 treatments in 1 week. Got Day 3 Labs done through fertility specialist---FSH came down to 24 and AMH went up to <o.10. Okay granted these numbers are still a normal but HUGE improvement. My day 3 ultrasound showed only 1 follicle each ovary. But guess what!!?? POSITIVE pregnancy test after 4 weeks!! All my doctors were in shock. ...:) I continued the treatments until 12-13 weeks. Jose has been extremely professional, understanding and a miracle of hopes!! Thank you for everything you do. I know everyone's stories are different but there is HOPE if someone is ready to listen and really understand what's going on.

    Reading Family Acupuncture & Herbs was my first Acupuncture experience. I am now a complete believer in Acupuncture after this wonderful experience with Jose. He is very knowledgeable; friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxing and calming. I am certain that Jose helped with my infertility issues and he also helped ward off some of the debilitating pregnancy nausea during the first trimester. I highly recommend Reading Family Acupuncture & Herbs and will forever be grateful to Jose for all his help during a difficult time.
