Acupuncture for Migraines - Beverly MA
Acupuncture is a medicine that has been around for thousands of years and it becoming more popular in the United States. The increase in popularly is likely to due to many clinical trials illustrating that acupuncture works as a safe and effective treatment option for a number of conditions. Today, I would like to discuss what the main causes of migraines and headaches as well asm the benefits of acupuncture for migraines.
Headache vs. Migraines
Globally, headaches affected an estimated 50 percent of adults. Headaches cause pain in head, face, upper neck and/or upper back. The frequency and intensity of headaches can vary and can result from two main causes. Migraines usually produce symptoms that are more intense and debilitating than headaches. It's important to note that not all migraines manifest as head pain.
Two main causes of headaches:
1) Primary: Primary headaches refer to conditions that cause pain in head, face, or neck. Examples are migraine and tension headaches
2) Secondary: Secondary headaches are a result of another medical condition such as stress.
Today, I am going to discuss tension-type headaches and migraine. It is important to note that there are multiple types of headaches and each has it's own type of symptoms that are associated with it.
Tension-headaches:
Tension-headaches are the most common type of primary headache disorder. A classic symptom is ban of intense pressure around the head and causes vary.
