Acupuncture for Migraine and Headache in NYC

BOOK APPOINTMENTS
Acupuncture works for migraine headaches, tension headaches, cluster headaches, post-traumatic headaches, and disease-related headaches due to stress or blockage of energy in acupuncture channels.

Migraine and headache acupuncture treatments in NYC at our clinic are aimed at promoting circulation of blood and energy in painful areas on the head to reduce the pain and inflammation.

Acupuncture has shown promise as a treatment for headaches and migraines, with several studies indicating its effectiveness in reducing frequency and severity.

Additional therapies like Chinese herbs, Homeopathy, Bioresonance and PEMF machines ( FDA approved for migraine treatments.) may further help reduce the pain of migraines.
​
Acupuncture meridians run all around the head and can help behind the eye pains, one sided and bilateral headaches, occipital and frontal migraines.


According to TCM and Acupuncture migraines and headaches in women can often be associated with a menstrual cycle. 
In that case regulating the menstrual cycle using the liver energy will help reduce the pain.

Acupuncture migraine and headache treatments at our New York City clinic focus on reducing the pain
by balancing internal organs and promoting circulation of energy and blood to the head.
​  
There are a lot of acupoints on the head and when the energy on the head is blocked, headaches or migraines occur. Some people suffer from migraines or headaches that occur periodically, and some seasonally and some have triggers like alcohol, stress, light, noise or certain foods. 
Fast paced New York City lifestyle with lack of sleep and poor diet can deliver a tension and migraine headache on its own.

There are many different migraine and headache treatment methods, ours mostly come from Master Tung's family acupuncture where needles are inserted in extremities. Some people get migraine relief in a short time and for most it is a gradual treatment process.

​
Migraine and tension headache treatments in acupuncture are often diagnosed according to the physical location  and its corresponding energetic properties and quality of pain.

Time of the day, seasonal, one-sided or bilateral headaches are all  classified in specific categories which relate to particular organs and
Chinese Channels or Meridians(energetic pathways).  
Acupuncture Treatments for Frontal Headaches, Occipital and Lateral Headache 
Frontal and sinus pain according to acupuncture theory is usually associated with stomach and large intestine or even the lung blocked energies (or possible digestive disorders), a lateral type of headache or one-sided pains ( often migraines )
belong to the gallbladder area.
 
Occipital Headaches in Chinese Medicine often relate to the Urinary Bladder and Small Intestine acupuncture channels and top of the head is usually Liver-related. (It does not necessarily mean that the person experiencing these pains has an organ problem, but rather it represents blockage of energy in a particular organ channel which results in discomfort and pain.)
 
Acupuncture for Headache and Migraine treatments can reduce energetic blockages and reduce or eliminate the pain and dependence on pain medication and its side effects. Some headache types especially chronic migraines
may take longer to treat.

Headache and Migraine treatments at our clinic helped many clients to achieve less pain, better focus and sleep. Because the head houses the most important asset we have, the brain, it's important to have it pain-free.
​Acupuncture can clear your mind and head.  Give us a try and feel better.

Acupuncture successfully treats all types of headaches. The easiest type to treat with acupuncture is a tension headache. Even though a migraine type headache can be challenging, nevertheless, any noticeable relief from migraines may bring enhanced quality of life.
Acupuncture shows promise for migraine and headache treatment, a trained licensed acupuncturist will place the needles into specific acupuncture points based on the location of the headache and acupuncture meridians the pain is related to.
