If you suffer from migraines, finding an effective solution can be difficult. Thankfully, acupuncture has been used for ages to successfully treat migraines, reducing head and neck pain for improved well-being. Helping patients since 1989, Forest Park Chiropractic & Acupuncture offers real solutions. Cincinnati’s leading chiropractic and acupuncture team is here to share how acupuncture helps relieve migraine pain. 

back painMigraines involve persistent pulsations that concentrate on one side of the head, accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light. Without an effective solution, symptoms can easily last for hours. Acupuncture is a form of ancient Chinese medicine in which tiny needles are inserted into specific pressure points throughout the body. The area of insertion varies widely depending on your pain levels and the area that’s affected—back pain is treated differently than neck pain, for example. 

After needles are inserted, manual stimulation puts them into effect. As the needles are stimulated, blood flow increases, reducing unwanted tension. For migraines, pressure points in the head and neck are usually avoided. Instead, your acupuncture professional will likely target sections on the lower half of the body. This prevents the dilation of blood vessels in your head, which can actually increase migraine pain.

Acupuncture has been used as an effective migraine solution for centuries. Not only have patients noticed less frequent migraines but less intense pain as well. They also noticed less back and neck pain, reducing overall tension throughout the area. It has worked well to reduce the level and persistency of pain for patients of all ages. 

If you’re suffering from migraines, acupuncture can help improve your pain levels and overall well-being. Also offering chiropractic and massage services, Dr. Moeller of Forest Park Chiropractic & Acupuncture is prepared to help all patients feel their best.
