A headache is considered an imbalance that should be treated whether acute or chronic. All the yang acupuncture channels meet in the head, and in a healthy state they circulate qi (energy) that supports sight, hearing, taste and smell. A headache is the result of improper circulation of qi.

“Headaches and migraines may be common but they are not normal and no one should have to live with them. They should be taken seriously because they could be signaling a problem elsewhere in the body,” says Family Care Acupuncture’s Licensed Acupuncturist Toni Brewer.

Using the classical Oriental Medicine diagnosis process to pinpoint the root cause of headaches, Family Care Acupuncture provides pain relief and strategies for overall wellness. The location of the pain can reveal the origin of the headache and explain symptoms that often accompany that type of imbalance. For example, pain in the forehead could be originating from issues with the spleen, which can cause worry, brain fog, indigestion, nausea, tiredness and a heavy head, arms or legs.

Acupuncture is an ancient system that is effective, noninvasive, compatible with other therapies and backed by modern research. Using protocols to protect their patients and staff from COVID-19, Family Care Acupuncture treats patients for overall wellness, stress relief, pain management, weight loss, fertility, smoking cessation and more.
