Headaches

A vast problem around the world.

One of the most common symptoms we treat.

In the realm of common afflictions that drive people to seek solace in acupuncture, none looms larger than the ubiquitous headache. A seemingly simple ailment can often have a web of intricate causes, leaving individuals desperately searching for respite from its relentless grip. It’s in this intricate landscape of pain that we find our purpose.

Headaches, the silent tormentors of our daily lives, manifest in a multitude of ways. One of the chief culprits that lurk behind the throbbing agony is the presence of myofascial trigger points, those devious knots nestled within our muscles. These malevolent points don’t discriminate; they orchestrate both tension headaches and the more incapacitating migraine headaches with ruthless precision.

The second formidable adversary on our list is hormonal imbalances, an often-overlooked contributor to headaches. These fluctuations in our body’s delicate chemistry can trigger intense headaches, leaving individuals trapped in a vicious cycle of discomfort.

Enter the dynamic duo of biomedical acupuncture and dry needling, here to turn the tide in your favor. These therapies possess the remarkable ability to not only address myofascial trigger points but also wield a harmonizing influence over hormonal imbalances. They are the guiding lights on your path to headache relief.

But don’t take our word for it; the evidence speaks for itself. Numerous studies have unveiled the transformative potential of biomedical acupuncture and dry needling in alleviating both migraine and tension headaches, leaving behind a trail of hope and success:

  1. Melchart et al, 2001: Pioneering research showcasing the effectiveness of biomedical acupuncture in headache management.
