Migraines · Tension Headaches · Cluster Headaches
When the pain in your head keeps taking days from your life
Migraines are not just bad headaches. They can be debilitating — leaving you unable to work, to parent, to be present. The throbbing, the light sensitivity, the nausea, the recovery day afterwards. And often the dread of when the next one is coming.
Acupuncture for migraines and headaches aims to address the patterns underneath — not just the episode itself. Treatment looks at the triggers, the stress load, the sleep quality, the tension held in the neck and jaw, and the overall state of your nervous system.
Many people find that with a course of acupuncture, their migraines become less frequent, less severe, and shorter. For some, they reduce significantly over time. No promises — every person is different — but this is one of the conditions where acupuncture has some of its strongest evidence.
Book for Migraines"I was having migraines two to three times a month. After two months of acupuncture with Shaul, I've had one — and it was much milder than usual. I wish I'd come sooner."
— Leila Hendricks, Newlands
