Migraines can feel extremely debilitating and unfortunately is an all too common occurrence for millions of people. Statistics indicate over 39 million people suffer from migraines in the US alone, with women being 3X more prone to them than men. During a migraine episode you may feel a throbbing and pulsing pain on one side of your head, accompanied with light/sound sensitivity, nausea and vomiting. There are over the counter medicines as well as prescription strength medicines use to treat them, but they tend to mask the symptoms and come with unwanted side effects, also, they do not address the root cause. This is where Acupuncture comes in. Acupuncture is highly effective in migraine relief and prevention, because it gets to the root of the issue and returns your body back to balance.
How can Acupuncture help provide migraine relief?
Acupuncture resolves the bodies imbalances by resolving blockages in your body, balancing hormones, stimulating the production and release of serotonin and dopamine, which help reduce pain and provide a lasting change in your body without side effects. Studies have found that "Acupuncture reduced more headache days and the times of using painkiller and was more effective in reducing the frequency and degree of headache than western medicine" they concluded that acupuncture is an "effective and safe therapy for migraine".
At Bodhi TCM Acupuncture our expert practitioner Dr. Andrea Izquierdo, L.Ac. has developed protocols blending modern science and Chinese Medicine which she personalizes to each patient to provide relief for migraines and return your body back to balance.
How our protocols work for migraine relief:
Pain modulation: Acupuncture and our Bio-electric therapies trigger the release of endorphins and serotonin, natural pain-relieving chemicals, reducing migraine pain.
Stress reduction: Acupuncture and our specific frequency protocols balance the nervous system, promoting relaxation and alleviating stress, a common migraine trigger.
Inflammation reduction: Acupuncture's anti-inflammatory effects help decrease inflammation in the brain, easing migraine symptoms.
Blood flow improvement: Enhanced blood circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to the brain, reducing migraine severity and frequency.
Hormonal balance: Acupuncture may regulate hormone levels, particularly estrogen, which can influence migraine frequency and intensity.
Our patient Matthew of Satellite Beach shares:
"After suffering many years with neuropathy and with migraine headaches I’ve tried just about everything Only to find out that nothing really worked. I thought I would try one last Time to see if Acupuncture could help me. And I saw that Bodhi Traditional Chinese Acupuncture was right around the corner from where I live in Satellite Beach. I met with Dr. Andrea and we went over very thoroughly the problems I was having. Within the first visit I could feel relief in my feet. Not only that but through time my migraines have subsided and are not so severe. But it’s not just about my neuropathy and my migraines it’s about my whole body getting well. If you suffer from anything debilitating you should give Bodhi and Dr. Andrea a try you got nothing to lose but pain."
