HEADACHE & MIGRAINE HEADACHE
Tension Headaches frequently occur with stiff neck and upper back. To treat tension headaches, we usually release the tight muscles around the upper back and neck as well as directly treat the headache. It's very common to have more pain in the back area of the head (occiput).
Cluster Headaches are one-sided, can create eye pain or pressure behind the eyeball and can be severe. These headaches are usually episodic and the pain comes in waves. We frequently find that cluster headaches have a digestive component that must be addressed.
Migraine Headaches are unfortunately becoming more common. Migraines are severe and can be debilitating. Most people are sensitive to noise and light during migraine episodes. Some people experience auras, or visual disturbances with their migraines.
Occipital Neuralgia is not as commonly diagnosed but can be extremely painful. This condition is caused by pinching of the occipital nerves. We find that tight muscles in the neck and upper back are the most common cause of occipital neuralgia. Multiple studies show that acupuncture is an effective treatment for occipital neuralgia.
Acupuncture is a wonderful way of treating headaches and migraines. If you're suffering from intense pain, please make an appointment or inquire for more information.
