Have you ever had to cancel plans because of sudden, throbbing pain? Or sat in a dark room for hours, unable to bear the light and noise? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to live this way. Migraines. Tension headaches. Cluster headaches. They all hurt, but they require different treatments. Our team conducts detailed evaluations to identify your unique headache type and customize your treatment accordingly.
Acupuncture is a medical science, and studies show acupuncture can:
- Reduce CGRP, the protein responsible for migraine attacks
- Studies suggest acupuncture can reduce CGRP levels in both serum and brain regions associated with migraine. This potential mechanism is being explored as a way acupuncture may exert its analgesic effects in migraine treatment.
- Boost natural painkillers like endorphins
- When an acupuncture needle is inserted into a specific “acupoint,” it stimulates underlying nerves.This sensory information travels up the spinal cord to the brain, specifically to key areas like the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.In response to these signals, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland release neurochemicals, most notably beta-endorphin.
- Soothe your overactive nervous system
- Acupuncture works by strategically stimulating specific points on the body to modulate the signals within the nervous system. This process helps to downregulate the overactive sympathetic response and promote a shift toward a parasympathetic state
- Improve circulation and reduce inflammation
- Acupuncture improves blood circulation by stimulating local vasodilation and enhancing microcirculation through nitric oxide release. It also helps regulate inflammation by modulating immune responses and balancing pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines.
