HOLISTIC AND EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE FOR MIGRAINES, STRESS OR CLUSTER HEADACHES
Acupuncture is effective in treating migraines, cluster headaches, tension headaches, sinus headaches, stress-related headaches and headaches occurring around the menstrual cycle.
Acupuncture not only relieves headaches efficiently, it also treats the underlying causes. It can offer powerful relief without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. The improvements continued for months after the treatments.
Headaches are a extremely common condition; in fact, headaches are one of the most commonly seen conditions in acupuncture clinics today. Statistics show that 1 out of 6 people suffer from chronic headaches.
Two separate systematic reviews by Cochrane Researchers show that acupuncture is an effective treatment for prevention of headaches and migraines.
In a course of about eight weeks, patients treated with acupuncture suffered fewer headaches compared to those who were given only painkillers. In the migraine study, acupuncture was superior to proven prophylactic drug treatments.
Another study involving 270 patients showed that acupuncture cut tension headache rates almost in half.
