HEADACHE RELIEF WITH ACUPUNCTURE
Headaches, particularly migraines and tension-type headaches, are among the most disabling neurological disorders worldwide. Acupuncture has demonstrated efficacy in modulating central and peripheral mechanisms, influencing neurotransmitter release, blood flow regulation, and inflammatory pathways. Clinical trials and meta-analyses support its role in reducing headache frequency, duration, and intensity.
Key Insight:
Acupuncture is not merely symptomatic relief—it is a neuromodulatory intervention with systemic effects on pain regulation and autonomic function. For patients seeking non-pharmacological, evidence-based approaches, acupuncture presents a safe and effective option. If chronic headaches continue to disrupt your daily functioning, consider a clinical consultation to explore how acupuncture could become an integral part of your treatment plan.
