Keep reading to learn more about why you should consider acupuncture in Medford or Marlton, NJ, for migraine relief.
When Should You Visit a Chiropractor for Migraines?
We recommend that you visit Dr. O’Keefe and Moises Moris Jr., LAc, if you have recurring or severe migraines that you haven’t been able to treat at home. We can discuss your overall health, lifestyle, and work and home environments to identify your migraine triggers. Understanding your migraine triggers will help you reduce the frequency of your migraines. Schedule an appointment today if your migraines:
- Occur more than once a week
- Are getting worse in severity or frequency
- Are preventing you from sleeping, eating, working, exercising, or spending time with family and friends
- Are accompanied by other symptoms, like nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity, or vision changes
- Are caused or aggravated by a past injury
- Are caused by medication you need to take
How Does Acupuncture Help Migraines?
When acupuncture needles are inserted into your body, they trigger the release of hormones, blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the treatment area. They also stimulate your nervous system to jumpstart the healing process and ease pain and inflammation. Acupuncture treatment also speeds up the relay of electromagnetic signals that control pain-killing chemicals like endorphins, as well as immune system cells that fight illness, infection, and disease. With repeated acupuncture treatments with our acupuncturist Moises Moris Jr., LAc, the treatment can actually change your brain chemistry by releasing neurotransmitters and neurohormones that dampen nerve impulses.
Benefits of Using Acupuncture to Treat Migraines
When we use acupuncture and other chiropractic therapies to treat your migraines, you can reduce or eliminate your reliance on over the counter and prescription painkillers. You can also gain a better understanding of your migraine triggers so that you can make key lifestyle adjustments that lessen the frequency or intensity of your migraines.
