Migraines are caused by uncontrolled compression and expansion of small blood vessels in the brain.

Common symptoms are headache, nausea, blurred vision, vertigo and tinnitus lasting even a few days straight.

Migraines many times run in the family and are aggravated by hormonal or seasonal changes, and life style characterized by many changes like working night-shifts, lots of airplane travel, emotional stress and more.

There is also a strong connection to food allergies (like dairy products, chocolate, coffee and fats) and excess exposure to electro-magnetic fields (computers, television, video games, cellular phones and more).

All of these stimuli create an overload on the nervous system resulting in the body reacting in pain and suffering.

Acupuncture brings about change in the flow of the energetic field surrounding the body and affecting our nervous system.

 Through acupuncture it is possible to relax the nerves and strengthen them so that the person is less affected by external stimuli and processes of change.

In order to treat migraines effectively, acupuncture should be accompanied by changes in diet and life style.
