Headaches are no fun, especially when they are frequent or intense like a migraine. Some people even get headaches nearly every day.

Headaches come in many varieties, from a mild feeling of pressure to throbbing, blinding and debilitating. They can be located anywhere in the head region. These details are key when I interview a patient who gets headaches. The nature and location of the headache gives me a clue as to the root cause of the headache and how to treat it.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine the source of headaches can come from imbalances in different organ systems. It can also come from the outside as in a cold or flu. All of this goes into how I treat the patient. Many different types of headaches require different treatment strategies and will call for a particular choice of acupuncture points.

Over the years I have successfully treated many people with many types headaches, both chronic, acute and migraine. Eliminating or reducing the frequency and intensity of headaches, allows the headache sufferer to minimize or eliminate the headache medications that they typically need to use and the possible side effects that they can cause.

If you get frequent headaches and want to explore acupuncture as a solution, I am offering complementary 15 minute phone consultations to discuss your situation.
