Migraine Treatment Program

Our simple, straightforward and effective natural therapies give your body the support and encouragement that it needs, when it needs it. Our targeted natural treatments work by supporting your overall health so that the frequency and severity of your headaches are dimished. Your treatment program will consist of:

1. A comprehensive evaluation – First, we thoroughly evaluate your entire health history to uncover the root cause of your headaches/migraines. We look at ALL of the factors that might be influencing your headaches.

2. A targeted plan of action – Next, we create a treatment plan to address the imbalances that we discover during our evaluation as well as any other symptoms that you may be experiencing (such as anxiety, hormonal imbalances, poor sleep, digestive disturbance).

3. Treatment plans leverage the power of your body’s natural healing capacity and consist of:

a. Acupuncture – Weekly acupuncture treatments work to relax your mind and body and strengthen your body’s natural healing capacity. Acupuncture is incredibly effective for calming the central nervous system, balancing hormones and alleviating tight muscles and structural imbalances, all of which play a huge role in chronic headaches and migraines.

b. Custom Chinese herbal blends – Simple and safe herbal treatment strategies will be implemented to balance and regulate the systems of your body that are contributing to your headaches.

c. Simple lifestyle changes – We evaluate and correct simple but profoundly impactful lifestyle habits that promote proper function on a fundamental level.

d. Targeted nutritional supplements – Simple, safe and effective nutritional supplement protocols are used to support the process and provide a boost to your body’s health regenerating mechanisms.

e. Mind-Body exercises and meditations – We use calming and encouraging mindfulness exercises to leverage the incredible healing capabilities of the mind.

4. Implement sustainable lifestyle changes to ensure that your migraines do not come back.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people are surprised and relieved to learn that acupuncture needles are extremely thin and completely unlike the hypodermic needles that they have experienced at their doctor’s office. Acupuncturists can attain a high level of skill in gently placing these tiny needles and often the insertion is barely perceptible. Once the needle is inserted there may be a mild sensation of heaviness, achiness or tingling in the area of insertion. This is normal and therapeutically beneficial.

What about herbs?

Chinese herbal medicinals are extremely effective in helping to alleviate chronic headaches and migraines. Your initial evaluation includes a traditional Chinese herbal assessment which will be used to create a diagnosis and treatment plan so that you can start experiencing relief from your headaches as quickly as possible.

But my headaches have been around since childhood, how could this help?

Chronic headache’s typically involve a number of factors and positively influencing even one or two of these can lead to tremendous benefits. Many of our patient’s with a history of headache’s stretching all the way back to childhood have experienced life changing effects.

I have a strong family history of migraine’s, aren’t my headaches genetic?

Although the propensity towards migraine can be genetic, the health and functioning of your body as a whole plays a huge role in the frequency and severity that you experience. With Chinese medicine our focus is on improving the functioning of all of the bodily systems that could be influencing your headaches. Based on the principles of epigenetics these changes have a positive influence on the expression of your genes.
