At Acupuncture Murfreesboro, we take headaches seriously.

If you suffer with headaches you know that headache pain can literally steal your life away… a little at a time.

Many of our headache patients have found that they are soon able to begin taking less medication.  It may be possible to eliminate the headaches (and the medications with all their side-effects) altogether.

In many cases, migraine patients have a treatment regimen that may even include a cocktail of drugs that they rely on to prevent or stop a migraine headache.  Patients often tell us that the side effects of the medications are a concern.

Migraine patients are often advised to try to identify and avoid triggers such as certain foods, smells, environments or other circumstances

Acupuncture addresses migraines from a different perspective.

The acupuncture approach helps reduce the amount of internal stress, promotes calming of the nervous system as well as reduces the intensity and frequency of headaches.  Migraine headaches respond well to drug-free acupuncture care in many cases.

It is theorized that acupuncture treatment helps balance the normal blood flow to the brain, eliminating the contraction and dilation of blood vessels.

Sinus pain is a very common problem in the Middle Tennessee area at all times of the year.  Fortunately, sinus headaches are also often very responsive to acupuncture treatment. 

Patients with sinus congestion, pain and headaches all report improvement, often before the first treatment is even complete. 

Tension headaches typically respond to our acupuncture treatment.  Acupuncture helps reduce the vise-like pressure of the muscle contracture.   Acupuncture can be used to deactivate painful muscle trigger points that can be responsible for recurrent tension headache.

As with all conditions, your response will be unique depending upon the severity of the headaches, how long they have been a problem as well as your overall health condition and other factors.

Here is a video about new research that shows acupuncture can be more effective than medication for headaches and how acupuncture is being used at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic:

 Here is a video produced by Duke University highlighting their remarkable study demonstrating that significantly more patients found relief from headaches from acupuncture than from medication.

This is a great opportunity for many headache sufferers to reduce or possibly even eliminate their chronic headaches.  To learn more, call our office at (615) 895-1835.
