Acupuncture for Migraine Headaches| Phoenix Acupuncture for Migraines

Those who suffer from Migraines should not overlook the benefits of Acupuncture for migraine relief. Migraine headaches can be a debilitating physical ailment if they aren't able to be managed.  Migraines can prevent a person from focusing on school, work, or normally enjoyable activities. The only thing that provides any kind of relief can be a dark, quiet, room and a cool compress. Sound familiar?

Phoenix Acupuncture for Migraine Relief | Holistic Treatment for Migraines
Acupuncture for migraine relief has been gaining mainstream attention. It's success in providing holistic treatment for migraines is noted by those on the forefront of mainstream medical research such as The Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins Medicine. Holistic health practitioners understand that balance plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy mind, body and spirit. Acupuncture is a natural method of healing that is used to restore that balance.

There is a scientific connection between Acupuncture and relief for Migraine headaches. Acupuncture's roots are embedded in the Chinese Medicinal belief that the Qi - or " life energy" and Yin  - or "blood energy" must be in balance for the body to be healthy. Acupuncture works with the body's Qi.  Using the body's meridians - also referred to as energy channels, acupuncture stimulates energetic movement wherever blocks are found.  The release of these blocks allows energy to flow in a balanced and rhythmic way.  It also stimulates the tissues surrounding the areas where the acupuncture needles are inserted.  This triggers improved circulation, which helps to bring nourishment to the cells, removes accumulated toxins, and also reduces inflammation, which can be a cause of migraine headaches.

First and foremost, it is important to find a highly trained phoenix acupuncturist so you are ensured of experienced, knowledgeable, and quality health care.  A trained acupuncturist should take a holistic healing approach to your migraine headaches.  Rather than just using acupuncture to treat the symptoms of migraines, an acupuncturist will work closely with the patient to find the root of the migraines.  This may involve a detailed analysis of diet, life style, and emotional health. Once the triggers or source(s) of a the migraines are discovered, clients often experience an immediate decrease, or a cessation, of migraine episodes. These triggers and symptom patterns will help your acupuncture doctor identify which meridians to treat. In this way, the acupuncturist will use acupuncture to bring balance - and to maintain that balance - within the body.

What is the Cause of Migraines?
One thing both traditional and holistic health practitioners can agree on is that migraine headaches are almost always caused by some form of imbalance in the body. Whether that imbalance is the result of too much caffeine, unhealthy sleep patterns, poor diet, or lunar hormonal cycles, a migraine headache is the body's way of communicating that something is wrong and needs attention.

Migraine headaches are commonly on the list of hormone imbalance symptoms.  Women are particularly vulnerable to headaches - especially migraines - when there is an imbalance in their hormone levels. This is one example where acupuncture as a holistic treatment for migraines is so important.  Your acupuncturist will be able to determine if your hormones are out of balance and will work with your body naturally to restore hormone balance and alleviate the recurrences of migraine headaches.
