Yes! I get acupuncture, too

A lot of my patients ask me if I get acupuncture or if I give myself acupuncture. The answer is definitely yes.

Common food triggers for migraines

Migraines can be triggered by various factors, and food is a common trigger for many people. In Chinese medicine, food is considered the first pillar of health because it’s something that each individual has control over each day. So paying attention to the foods that help you either feel better or trigger symptoms is an important part of self-care. Chinese medicine focuses on creating treatment plans for a person’s individual pattern of disharmony, and food is a huge part of the plan of care. Food triggers can vary from person to person, and what affects one individual may not affect another.

Migraines and Acupuncture

Acupuncture has a long track record of helping people manage migraines. As a migraine sufferer, I rely on regular acupuncture treatments and lifestyle changes to help keep me functional and pain free, and I enjoy helping people keep their migraines under control with acupuncture, herbal medicine and lifestyle changes. It’s also important to have a game plan to help you prevent or manage symptoms before they flare up.
