Yes
Yes. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
Yes, I treat migraines quite successfully. It does depend on what's causing them. If it's from chemicals in, say, a nail salon, I might not be able to overcome the toxicity of the chemicals. But other normal causes can usually be treated successfully. You may need to go in for tuneups every so often.
Yes.

Yes, absolutely. Headaches, migraines and cluster headaches respond very well to acupuncture.
Yes, it works very well!
Based on your signs and symptoms after the initial intake, a practitioner can plan a treatment protocol to target the source or cause. There are also muscular trigger points that can resemble migraine or headache pain, so releasing those tight muscle fibers can also help subside the symptoms.
Acupuncture can help with migraines.

Acupuncture can certainly help migraines.
Yes, effects vary
There have been many controlled trials investigating the effectiveness of acupuncture as a treatment for Migraine attacks. The general consensus in research is that acupuncture is significantly better than no treatment or basic care when it comes to managing migraine attacks.
As well as easing the pain of existing migraines, you can also use acupuncture to prevent them from returning; the technique can activate your parasympathetic nervous system and reduce muscle tension. Most people who suffer from migraines have a lot of muscle tension in the upper back and neck; clearly, releasing this tension is likely to reduce the number of migraines they get in the future.

I have had success with migraine pain with acupuncture. It may not work for everyone, but of course, that depends upon several variables. Diet, caffeine intake, sleep disorders, hormonal disorders, autoimmune diseases, spinal abnormalities....the list goes on and on!!! If you are willing to make lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise for one, and you give it an honest shot....i.e, at least 6-8 treatments, many people experience good results with acupuncture. Good luck!!!

I specialize in migraines with acupuncture. It usually takes 5-6 visits. Some cases do require a monthly maintenance visit for a year.
Yes.
Yes. Acupuncture can be very effective in treating many different types of headaches and migraines.
Yes, I have treated many patients with acupuncture for migraines. Some got relief right away, others took a few treatments to get results. So, find a licensed practitioner in your area (an L.Ac) and let them see what they can do for you.
If it takes a few treatments, don't give up, or if you want, you can switch to another practitioner. Like any other service, acupuncturist should be people you work well with who are able to help your specific needs.
good luck
