Headaches & Migraines

Do You Suffer From Painful Headaches?

Headaches are by far the number one health concern in America. Millions of people suffer from headaches every day. Various types include sinus/allergy headaches, migraine headaches, and tension headaches. How your headaches are treated depends on the type of headaches you are experiencing.

Do you have pressure behind your eyes, cheekbones, in your ears, or teeth?

This could indicate you have a sinus headache. In the case of sinus headaches, we need to resolve the underlying sinus issue to fully resolve pressure and headache. Click here to read more about how we treat sinus symptoms.

Tension Headaches

Tension headaches often happen as a result from daily work stress or computer work.

Migraine Headaches

Migraines can have very different causes, and present themselves differently in each person. Are they cluster migraines? Hormonal migraines? Stress migraines? Do you experience ocular migraines, or migraines with an aura? Does nausea or vomiting accompany your migraines?

Diagnosis

Western diagnosis isn’t necessary to get started on the path to relief. When we look at the cause of headaches, we look at overall body function to pin point the cause of your headaches. Over the years, we’ve helped many people reduce, and sometimes eliminate, headache medication.

How Acupuncture Helps

Acupuncture supports the body's natural ability to heal and regulate itself. For headaches & migraines, treatment can help reduce pain and inflammation, calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and restore balance.

We often combine acupuncture with traditional Chinese medicine techniques — such as cupping, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance — for a whole-person approach. Most patients follow a course of 8-12 sessions.

If you're dealing with headaches & migraines in the Milwaukee or Glendale area, we'd be glad to help you explore whether acupuncture is right for you.
