Many patients seek acupuncture specifically to help reduce migraine frequency and intensity.

While results vary by individual, acupuncture may help by:

-Regulating nervous system activity

-Reducing inflammation

-Improving circulation

-Decreasing muscle tension

-Supporting stress resilience

Some patients report fewer migraine days per month and shorter duration when they do occur.

This is very common.

Medications often help manage acute pain but may not address:

-Underlying triggers

-Nervous system hypersensitivity

-Chronic muscle tension

-Hormonal fluctuations

-Stress load

Acupuncture can be used alongside conventional care to support prevention strategies.

Many patients use acupuncture to:

-Reduce reliance on frequent medication

-Improve resilience between episodes
