Can acupuncture or chiropractors help your migraine headaches?

ANSWER

Yes. Acupuncture has been shown to greatly relieve migraines and their symptoms. Acupuncture needles are often painless and treatments are very relaxing. Chinese herbs, prescribed by experienced practitioners of Chinese Medicine, can also be very beneficial in reducing and/or eliminating migraines. Because Chinese Medicine seeks to treat the root of an illness, not just to mask symptoms and discomfort, the variety of causes contributing to migraine headaches will be addressed by your acupuncturist.

Chiropractors are Excellent at treating headaches by adjusting your spine. Seeing that the spinal cord is the entire length of your back, tailbone to skull, one tiny subluxation can disrupt something (blood flow, nerves) giving you headaches. I also recommend it because my mother and I both had similar problems which a chiropractor had fixed. My mother sees one about twice a year now, and I haven't seen one since I was a teenager.
