HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES – HOW WE CAN HELP

There is nothing more debilitating than persistent headaches and migraines. It robs us of our capacity to function and can leave us feeling really weak and vulnerable.

Migraines are more intense than headaches and can last for many days! This is why headache and migraine sufferers dread the onset of this numbing pain and desperately turn to over the counter medication to alleviate the pain. 

Although these pain killers might offer temporary relief they don’t address the underlying cause. The trouble is, the continuous use of these painkillers can also actually cause more headaches! This dependency on medication creates a vicious cycle which can leave you feeling completely trapped. 

Acupuncture can help to combat the pain caused by headaches and migraines by stimulating nerves and pressure points in the body to relieve symptoms and bring your body back into balance.

Headaches and migraines can be triggered by a wide range of things, including:

• Stress/anxiety
• Tiredness/lack of sleep
• Low blood sugar
• Dehydration
• High caffeine intake
• Menstrual cycle

Acupuncture is a great treatment to combat headaches and migraines, particularly for those who can’t find relief with over the counter medication and wish to target the underlying cause.
