Acupuncture For Migraine And Other Headaches

Many people suf­fer chronic pain because they do not under­stand the power­ful, pos­it­ive effects of using Japanese acu­punc­ture for migraine and other headaches.

In this video, I dis­cuss the bene­fits of acu­punc­ture treat­ment for head­aches, includ­ing migraine head­aches, that many patients exper­i­ence through our acu­punc­ture clinic.

Thousands of people have seen me (in my 30 years of prac­tice) for this life-eroding con­di­tion, espe­cially for migraine head­aches or any sort of chronic head­aches.  There are many sorts of head­aches – there are a num­ber of head­aches asso­ci­ated with flu’s and vir­uses and head­aches asso­ci­ated with neck prob­lems.  Some people have a con­sti­tu­tional tend­ency to suf­fer head­aches.  So when they become imbal­anced in their life­style, these par­tic­u­lar indi­vidu­als tend to exper­i­ence head­aches rather than lower back pain or stom­ach problems.

These head­ache con­di­tions can be resolved with the judi­cious use of acu­punc­ture.  I use a par­tic­u­lar form of acu­punc­ture known as Traditional Japanese Acupuncture and it is a very gentle form that was refined and developed in Japan from the tra­di­tional Chinese style of acu­punc­ture.  Currently, I would say that I am treat­ing any­where between 10 and 12 people a week for head­aches, includ­ing migraine headaches.

One of my most recent exper­i­ences was treat­ing a patient who had come down with a very severe virus with con­stant severe head­aches, where she felt her head was actu­ally going to explode. This was an unre­lent­ing head­ache which was giv­ing her no peace what­so­ever.  The story as it unfolds is that after just one treat­ment, she had extraordin­ary relief from this par­tic­u­lar scen­ario — besides the aching limbs and leth­argy from the virus, the head­aches improved 90% dur­ing the course of one treatment.

In the case of migraine head­aches, as dis­tinct from colds and flu’s, you have a more chronic situ­ation where people have that tend­ency to develop head­aches on a reg­u­lar basis.  With women, the migraines can occur as part of the men­strual cycle or people can exper­i­ence migraine head­aches as a res­ult of stress or anxiety.

In these con­di­tions, we look at nor­m­al­ising and har­mon­ising the ener­getic bal­ance of the body and to take the ten­sion and stress out of the neck and shoulder areas, to sup­port those areas of the body that are defi­cient and to bal­ance those areas of the body where there is excess energy.   Invariably, with head­aches, espe­cially migraine head­aches, the excess energy is up in the head.

Japanese acu­punc­ture, in my exper­i­ence over the last thirty years, is incred­ibly effect­ive for help­ing people to recover from and main­tain good health in spite of the con­sti­tu­tional tend­ency to exper­i­ence migraine headaches.

One par­tic­u­lar indi­vidual comes to mind and this lady had exper­i­enced migraine head­aches basic­ally every second or third day over a period of eight or nine years.  These were basic­ally stress related head­aches and in a very short period of time, per­haps two or three weeks, her head­aches were resolved.  She then went on to a main­ten­ance acu­punc­ture treat­ment where she vis­ited the acu­punc­ture clinic on a monthly basis.  We were able to keep the head­aches at bay.  The res­ult is that her life has improved immeas­ur­ably and she is much hap­pier and her fam­ily – her hus­band and chil­dren – are also much hap­pier.  She is now able to com­mit her­self and have much more clar­ity in her work role.

So I highly recom­mend the use of Japanese acu­punc­ture in the treat­ment of headaches.
