Migraines

Migraines are a neurological condition that affects an estimated 10–148 million people worldwide. Medications for migraines can often have side effects. Acupuncture is safe and effective with little to no side effects. Studies have shown that acupuncture can reduce the frequency of migraines up to 59 percent and the effects can be felt for up to six months. Some studies have shown that it may even be slightly more effective than pharmacology. Combining acupuncture and medications can have up to 80 percent efficacy. Talk to your acupuncturist about the medications you are taking and what type of migraines you are experiencing.
