Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment involving the placement of needles in various positions on the skin to help alleviate a variety of conditions. This treatment is a growing part of healthcare in the West and originated in China more than 5,000 years ago. It has been used as an anesthetic for surgery, a treatment for disease, and as a preventative measure to help ensure the overall health of patients. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the three main things that make life complete. The Chi, which is energy, the Jing, which is essence, and the Shen, which is the spirit. The Chinese believe that the Jing lessens over time through poor living and excess. The Chinese use acupuncture treatment to help preserve your Jing as well as keep your Chi balanced. This results in a longer and healthier life for the patient.
The way acupuncture works is by accessing various pressure points and nerve systems in the body. This enables stimulation to the muscles, nerves and connective tissue that the needles come in contact with which in turn causes the blood flow in your body to increase. This increased blood flow can help change brain activity and release endorphins, resulting in natural pain relief. The endorphins also act as a mood elevator, help alleviate stress, and provide an overall sense of wellbeing. When being utilized for disease treatment, the acupuncture points that become activated by the needles stimulate the immune system cells which helps the body to heal.
For migraine sufferers, acupuncture can offer relief. Studies have shown that through acupuncture, migraine sufferers report fewer headache days, take less medication, have fewer doctor visits, and take fewer sick days off at work. Acupuncture offers a safe and cost effective treatment for migraine sufferers. Unlike medications and surgical treatments, acupuncture is noninvasive and has no side effects.
Migraines are caused by the constriction of blood vessels and are usually triggered by stress, tension, lack of sleep, diet, or other lifestyle factors. Acupuncture can help relieve a migraine by increasing blood circulation, reducing stress and alleviating the pain by activating pressure points on the body.
Acupuncture is also a very important part of migraine prevention. Regular treatments can help to keep muscles relaxed and maintain proper blood circulation throughout the body. Treatments can also aid in reducing the stress and pain in daily life that can be triggers for migraines.
