Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Congratulations! I myself am a migraineur who was treated by acupuncture. I now treat others the same way. I know exactlyhow you feel about migraine attacks. For me, it wasn't just the attack itself that was relentless, but even the prodrome - I would be irritable, grumpy and would have difficulty sleeping. Not anymore.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Lana, Hubris is a very dangerous thing, but I will go out on a limb and say that migraines are generally easy to treat with acupuncture, though I have had a handful of difficult cases.. That so many people suffer from them so much for so long is nearly criminal. I've treated many people very successfully for migraines. Tell your freinds or whoever you know with migraines. They don't have to suffer. acupuncture , " lkarpa1 " <lkarpa1> wrote: > > I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with treating > migrane headaches by the use of acupuncture.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I agree, migraines are one of the " easier " diseases to treat successfully. Acupuncture seems miraculous in it's ability to clear the channels of pain and reduce frequency/intensity of migraines. It also usurpts the onset of a migraine if caught quickly enough. I have found, however that the patient, even though skipping the hours of intense pain with a treatment, are still left with the feelings of fatigue and hollowness felt post-migraine.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Ms. Lori Scott, The model of the body we use in Chinese medicine is elegant and comprehensive. While migraine headaches are usually related specifically to the gall bladder meridian, there may be associated imbalances in other meridians as well. Acute care can be very effective as you have mentioned. But you may also want to look to the liver blood and kidney qi and you may find that weekly acupuncture combined with herbal medicine to treat the liver and kidneys can, over time, treat the remaining symptoms. I also find heart treatments very helpful for stubborn cases. The branch often responds to treatment much more quickly than the root, which in Chinese medicine speak means that the symptom may be relieved quickly, while the underlying imbalance remains. Of course, see a licensed acupuncturist in person for a complete diagnosis and treatment plan.
