If you are someone who suffers from chronic headaches, you may be a great
candidate for acupuncture and or herbal medicine.

Acupuncture is a process that involves inserting fine needles through the
skin at various points on the body. It is a medically accepted and a proven
method for treating all types of headaches and to promote overall wellness.

We can assist you with healing here at California Neurohealth in San Luis
Obispo if you are looking for relief from your migraine headaches, tension
headaches, menstrual migraines and post concussive headaches, as well as
headaches due to weakness from chronic illness.


How does acupuncture benefit your head pain?

Acupuncture works primarily by providing a sensory stimulus to the nervous
system that results in an improvement in function. Keep in mind that many
systems of your body are stimulated

during acupuncture, which can provoke and amplify a healing response.
According
to Chinese Medicine, there are numerous channels on the body and on those
channels are points that correspond to neurovascular bundles. These
bundles are dense collections of blood vessels and nerves also known as
acupuncture points. These channels and Chinese Medical Theories reflect
the various neurological, myological (muscle), sclerotogenous (relating to
connective tissue and ligaments), embryological, homologous homunculus
relationships (for example treating the whole body from a small part like
the ear or the hand or the foot) and are congruent with the current body of
knowledge in human physiology. These points are stimulated by the
insertion of needles to affect the body through the understanding of this
complex relationship of anatomy and physiology.


Is acupuncture effective for post concussive syndrome headaches?

Absolutely! Many patients enjoy their first bout of clarity and enjoy
their long standing post trauma headache being broken, after
acupuncture! Acupuncture
is a great treatment for pain relief of all kinds but especially helps
people who suffer from migraines and

headaches of all sorts. Acupuncture can also be used in conjunction with
nearly every other treatment available such as abortive and prophylactic
medications, Botox injections, chiropractic neurology, massage and
behavioral therapy.
