Headaches & Migraines

Tension headaches and migraines — calmer, less often, with steady care.

Headaches & Migraines
How TCM can help

Headaches often build from neck and shoulder tension, stress, poor sleep and screen strain. Acupuncture, head therapy and bodywork are commonly used to ease that tension and support the nervous system; many people find their headaches become less frequent or less intense over a course of care. We work alongside any medical management of migraine.

What to expect

After an intake (including your headache patterns, sleep and triggers), we plan an individualized course of care. Treatments are often combined — for example, acupuncture with head therapy or bodywork — and reviewed as your headaches change.

Frequency and duration vary; many people notice change over a short series of visits.
