Migraines & Headaches
Holistic practices to help you reach the quality of life you deserve.
Acupuncture is an effective, evidence-based treatment for reducing the frequency and intensity of chronic tension-type headaches and migraines.
It works by stimulating nerves, increasing blood flow, and releasing natural painkillers like endorphins. Research suggests it can be as effective as preventive medication, with fewer side effects.
If you have been dealing with recurring headaches, migraines, or symptoms that seem to come out of nowhere, there is a reason your body keeps returning to this pattern.

Migraines are one of our top specialties.
By using points along facial pathways and affecting the way that vasoconstriction and dilation work in the body, we are able to modulate and fix headaches that have plagued you for years.
We can even treat headaches that have been resistant to medication.

Acupuncture works by addressing the systems that contribute to headaches and migraines.
What Acupuncture Does in the Body
Modulates blood flow and vascular response
Regulates the nervous system
Reduces muscle tension in the neck, jaw, and shoulders
Releases endorphins and natural painkillers
Reduces inflammation
Why This Matters for Migraines
By influencing blood flow, nervous system activity, and muscle tension, acupuncture helps reduce both the frequency and intensity of headaches.
This allows the body to move out of reactive cycles and into more stable patterns.
This is why acupuncture can be effective even for patients who have not responded to medication. This is how we help you feel better—and stay better.

We approach migraines and headaches by addressing both immediate symptoms and long-term patterns.
We use acupuncture points along facial and cranial pathways
Regulate vascular response (vasoconstriction and dilation)
Address neck and jaw tension
Support nervous system regulation
Identify triggers such as stress, hormones, and environment
We don’t just treat the headache. We treat the pattern that causes it.
This is how we help you feel better—and stay better.

We tell every patient to plan on coming once a week for three weeks initially. At that third appointment, we see what has changed, what is better, and what is still to be addressed.
The practitioner will work with you to establish a treatment plan moving forward. This typically looks like treatments that are more spaced out in timing, as you continue to progress.
For patients who have specific triggers (time of cycle, change in weather, life stressors, etc.) the plan will be adjusted to work on and around those triggers for a more pain-free life.
