Acupuncture Support for Migraine & Headache Patterns

Acupuncture is frequently used as a supportive therapy for recurrent headache and migraine patterns.

We focus on pattern frequency, intensity, and nervous system reactivity.

Relevant If You
  • Have recurring migraines

  • Experience chronic headaches

  • Have tension-type headaches

  • Use medication but want additional support

  • Notice trigger-linked headache cycles

What Acupuncture May Support

May help support:

  • Headache frequency reduction

  • Intensity modulation

  • Trigger sensitivity reduction

  • Muscle tension regulation

  • Nervous system reactivity control

No cure claims.

Clinical Strategy

May include:

  • Distal headache point systems

  • Scalp acupuncture zones

  • Electro-acupuncture when indicated

  • Cervical tension regulation

  • Trigger-pattern based point selection

Treatment is delivered in defined four-session blocks with reassessment at each checkpoint. Continuation is recommended only when measurable and clinically relevant improvement is observed.

Individual sessions typically last approximately 50–60 minutes and are adapted to the clinical presentation and treatment strategy.

Approach may vary depending on whether treatment is delivered between attacks or as part of a preventive strategy.

Treatment Timing Note

Best results are often seen when treatment is started between attacks, not only during crisis episodes.

Expectation Statement

Individual response varies.
Acupuncture is supportive — not emergency migraine care.
