Does research support the benefits of acupuncture for migraine headache frequency?
For many, migraine is more than just a headache; being a disabling chronic disease, with recurrent attacks.
One study demonstrated acupuncture resulted in a more significant decrease in migraine frequency than prophylactic pharmaceutical treatment.
Acupuncture also resulted in fewer adverse effects relative to pharmaceutical therapy.
The National Institute of Healthcare Excellence suggested acupuncture should also be used for either chronic headaches or migraines not responding to pharmacological management.
Healthcare continues evolving to less invasive, natural, and drug-free methods with acupuncture now being a first-line complementary healthcare choice.
Remember the American Acupuncture Council (AAC) offers an unparalleled track record in acupuncture risk management.
There is a reason acupuncturists have trusted AAC with their business for 50 years.
