Acupuncture for Headaches

About 45 million Americans complain of headaches more than any other disease yearly. Finding relief for headaches can be challenging and might disrupt your daily routine. Knowing what causes headaches allows us to treat the symptoms and not just mask the pain. Our chiropractor from ANEW Medical and Rehabilitation in Joliet, IL, offers efficient and quality acupuncture therapy for headaches. 

Here are some commonly asked questions about acupuncture that we receive. 

.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture points stimulate the central nervous system. This, in turn, releases chemicals into the spinal cord, brain, and muscles. These biochemical changes might stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities and enhance emotional and physical well-being. 

What Are the Benefits of Acupuncture? 

Acupuncture therapy helps relieve: 

  • Tension
  • Migraines 
  • Knee pain 
  • Neck pain 
  • Headaches
  • Osteoarthritis 
  • Low back pain

The practice is safe; it’s slightly non-invasive and has few side effects. If pain medications aren’t fit for you, then acupuncture is the best choice. 

What’s the Difference between Headaches and Migraines?

Most people experience headaches at some point in their lives. But migraines are recurrent, debilitating conditions that affect about 39 million Americans. Headaches are normally short-term, say a few hours. But you might experience them in clusters for days. They’re characterized by mild to severe pressure or aching on both sides of your head. Here are factors that cause headaches:  

  • Stress
  • Sinuses or illness 
  • Muscle strain or tension 

Alternatively, migraines might last from hours to days and cause more severe reactions than headaches. Some of the symptoms of migraines include:  

  • Nausea 
  • Vomiting 
  • Light sensitivity
  • Temporary loss of eyesight  
  • Pain behind the ears or eyes 
  • Seeing flashes or spots of light

What Can I Expect During an Acupuncture Procedure?

Our chiropractor will examine and assess your condition and recommend the appropriate acupuncture procedure. She’ll then proceed and insert needles and later recommend complementary medications like Chinese herbs. She uses disposable, single-use, and painless needles. Normally, you require about 12 episodes if it’s an acute case, while chronic conditions might last for several months.
