In the U.S., more than 38 million people suffer from migraines. Some migraine studies estimate that 13 percent of adults in the U.S. population have migraines, and 2-3 million migraine suffers are chronic. The most impacted demographic are women between 18-45. While it was previously thought of as an exclusively circulatory issue, modern research has revealed a neurological aspect of hyper-excitability and miscommunication in the trigemino-cervical complex that runs from the neck over the head, and to the eye. This is where acupuncture comes in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt?

Acupuncture needles are the thinnest, most gentle needles in the world. Upon insertion you will most likely feel nothing, after which you may or may not feel a slight pressure point or nerve sensation to initiate the body’s natural anti-inflammatory mechanism.

Have you cured this before?

Yes. Every case is different, so there is never any guarantee of results, but this area is one of our specialties in which we’ve seen consistent improvement as well as full resolutions from regular acupuncture. 

 

What are the needles doing?

When it comes to physical pain, acupuncture excels at either relaxing hypertonic muscles or boosting weaker muscles in a way that allows the body to heal itself

Will I be on a lot of supplements forever?

No. With herbal medicine we try to use the bare minimum to elicit maximum results and do not expect or desire for patients to be reliant on them in perpetuity. Supplements are very rarely needed for cases of exclusively musculoskeletal pain.

 

How long do I have to come to see results?

A standard course of medical treatment for chronic conditions is 12 visits over the course of 2 months. HOWEVER, you may see results as early as the very first treatment and absolutely should experience some progress during the first month.

Are these treatments safe?

Yes. Acupuncture is considered to be one of the safest modalities in existence, with at worst the very occasional, mild soreness or bruise at the site of a point.
