Why Headaches Keep Coming Back
Headaches aren’t always “just in your head.” They often stem from deeper imbalances in the body, including:
​
-
Muscle tension and poor posture
-
Hormonal changes and imbalances
-
Stress and overactive nervous system
-
Eye strain and poor circulation
-
Sinus congestion and inflammation
-
Diet-related triggers and dehydration
Conventional treatments like over-the-counter painkillers may temporarily mask symptoms—but they don’t address the underlying cause. Over time, you may even need more medication to get the same relief, and that can lead to side effects.
​
Acupuncture offers a better solution by helping your body rebalance naturally, calm overactive pain signals, and improve circulation to the brain and muscles.
How Acupuncture Treats Headaches
Acupuncture is a centuries-old healing system that works by stimulating specific points on the body to restore balance in the nervous system, improve blood flow, and release natural pain-relieving chemicals.
​
At Sanare Acupuncture, our headache treatment approach includes:
-
Detailed assessment – We identify the type of headache (tension, migraine, cluster, sinus-related, hormonal) and any triggers.
-
Targeted acupuncture points – Chosen to relieve tension, calm nerve activity, and improve circulation.
-
Neck and shoulder tension release – Addressing muscle tightness that often contributes to head pain.
-
Hormonal and stress regulation – Especially important for migraines linked to menstrual cycles or chronic stress.
Patients often report feeling lighter, clearer-headed, and more relaxed after their very first session. With consistent care, headaches become less frequent, less intense, and easier to manage—often disappearing entirely.

Types of Headaches We Treat
Tension Headaches
Often caused by muscle tightness in the neck, shoulders, and scalp, tension headaches can feel like a tight band around the head. Acupuncture releases muscle tension, improves blood flow, and calms nerve activity—providing fast relief.
Migraines
Migraines can cause throbbing pain, light sensitivity, nausea, and even vision changes. They’re often linked to hormonal shifts, stress, or certain triggers like food or weather changes. Acupuncture helps by balancing the nervous system, stabilizing hormones, and reducing inflammation that contributes to migraine attacks.
​
Hormonal Headaches
Some women experience headaches during PMS, ovulation, or menopause. These headaches are often tied to estrogen and progesterone fluctuations. Acupuncture gently regulates hormonal balance, reducing these monthly or transitional flare-ups.
​
Sinus Headaches
Caused by sinus congestion and inflammation, these headaches often worsen in allergy season or during colds. Acupuncture helps open nasal passages, improve drainage, and reduce sinus pressure for lasting relief.
