Acupuncture for Migraines in Columbia, MD
Acupuncture has a strong evidence base for both preventing migraines and reducing their severity — often matching the effectiveness of preventive medications without the side effects.
— How it Works
Acupuncture may help reduce migraine frequency by modulating pain pathways involved in migraine, supporting nervous system regulation, and reducing sensitivity in the body’s stress response. It can also help address common migraine contributors such as neck tension, hormonal shifts, poor sleep, and stress.
— Symptoms we Treat
· Frequent migraine attacks
· Migraine with Aura
· Nausea and light sensitivity associated with migraines
· Hormonal migraines
· Tension headaches
· Cluster headache support as part of a broader medical care plan
— What to Expect
Weekly acupuncture for 6–8 weeks is a common starting approach when using acupuncture for migraine prevention. Many patients notice gradual improvement in migraine frequency, severity, or recovery time over that period, though results vary from person to person.
