Migraines in Wokingham, Berkshire
Migraines are far more than ordinary headaches and involve a range of severe symptoms, including:
- Pain on one side of the head
- Pain at the back of the head
- Sensitivity to light
- Visual disturbances (aura)
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of concentration
- Lethargy
For many sufferers, the only relief during a migraine attack is a dark room and sleep. Over-the-counter painkillers are often ineffective for migraines, and prescription migraine medication and anti-emetics are frequently required.
Causes of migraines
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, the causes of migraines differ from those of western medicine and include:
- Tiredness and exhaustion
- Stress
- Hormonal fluctuations linked to the menstrual cycle
- Exposure to climatic conditions, such as cold wind
Acupuncture for migraines
Acupuncture is effective for a wide range of pain disorders, including migraines. Research has shown that acupuncture can both relieve migraine pain and reduce the frequency of attacks over time, offering a drug-free alternative for those seeking longer-term relief.
