Migraine is an extremely painful type of headache resulting from the widening of the blood vessels that causes the coiled arteries in the brain to extend. The elongated arteries set free chemicals that bring pain in the head. Some of the secondary symptoms that may or may not come occur during a migraine episode include nervousness, neck pain, headaches, and vomiting. Various forms of cure are widely available these days although the most common is the purchase of drugs in pharmacies as well as natural and alternative migraine treatments. Chinese medicine offers acupuncture as a safe, unique, and better way of treating migraines before and after they occur. Nowadays, a lot of medical doctors are making use of the ancient form of healing referring to it as acupuncture migraine treatment.
Thousands of years ago in China, people not only used wild plants and herbs to treat various types of diseases. They also found out that using needles and sticking them into the pressure points in the body led to the healing of certain ailments. Each person has different pressure points throughout the body and each of these points has a corresponding body part associated with it. Any problem arising in any organ or body part can be treated through these pressure points. Today, acupuncture is a widely used treatment in both Eastern and Western cultures. An acupuncturist or a doctor legally practicing medical acupuncture is well-trained in treating migraine headaches. Acupuncturists are not only skilled in curing back pains or any type of physical pain; they are also trained to help prevent the rise of disease. Some other acupuncture facts include the treatment’s capacity to restore lost memory caused by trauma or accidents. It is also non-invasive and non-surgical. It is very affordable and does not require any maintenance treatment.
Acupuncture is an ideal treatment for migraine in that it can be performed as a preventive measure against future migraine attacks. It can be performed even if the person is currently suffering from a migraine attack. Acupuncturists use sterilized sharp edged slender acupuncture needles and as they insert needles into the pressure points, they manipulate the needles in such a way as to bring optimal stimulation to the body in order to get the best results. A pressure point is stimulated causing the small blood vessels in that area to dilate increasing blood flow into the affected area. In the treatment of migraines, the patient will be told to sit down instead of lying down to prevent the blood from going to the head. The procedure gives the practitioner better control of the blood vessels at this position. Acupuncture may be able to relieve migraine pain and several clinical studies have actually shown it to help prevent the rise of migraine headaches. The needles may be inserted into specific areas in the head where the pain is felt. The points must be selected carefully since needling of the wrong point in the head or back can lead to serious complications.
According to Chinese medicine, prevention is way better than cure. Do not burden yourself with mental, physical and emotional stress which can lead to serious health complications such as migraine. No person would want to experience migraine pain since it is an extremely painful and debilitating type of headache. If you’re suffering from migraine headaches, the person you need to talk to first is your doctor. Your physician in the only person who knows what to do before and after the migraine occurs.
