Acupuncture for Migraines

Headache Treatment New York, NY

According to the Migraine Research Foundation, nearly 1 in 4 U.S. households includes someone who suffers from migraines. Migraines are more than just a headache. Migraines are a neurological condition that can involve nausea, vomiting, difficulty speaking, numbness or tingling and sensitivity to light and sound.

Depending on the individual, migraine attacks can persist for hours or days, and it is not uncommon for this intense head pain to be so severe that it interferes with daily activities. When it comes to migraines, there is not a one-size-fits-all treatment, and sufferers often have to try several therapies before finding lasting relief. Acupuncture is among the list of potential solutions, and it is one that involves your body’s own natural pain-relieving capabilities.

Do you suffer from disruptive or debilitating migraine attacks? If you have exhausted options in traditional medicine to find relief, you may want to consider acupuncture from Manhattan Sports Therapy. The World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed acupuncture as a promising treatment for pain, including chronic headache pain, since 1979.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture was developed in ancient China, and involves strategically piercing specific areas (or pressure points) of the body with a very thin needle to ease pain. This Chinese practice recognizes 14 meridians along the body that can cause pain or illness if there is a disturbance of energy. Acupuncture treatment typically takes about an hour, and several sessions may be needed to maximum improvement.

How Acupuncture Works for Migraines

The exact reason why acupuncture works for migraines is unclear and still debated. However, countless patients have found the relief they need and deserve with this ancient Chinese practice. While acupuncture seeks to restore the flow of positive energy throughout the body, the modern medical perspective recognizes that acupuncture can physically stimulate certain systems in your body that initiate a healing response. The needles can trigger the nerves to release hormones (like endorphins) and create a positive response within the immune system as well as the circulatory system. This can be highly effective for treating migraines and tension headaches.

Having performed surgery for decades my neck And back have been damaged. I can honestly say that Rachel has kept me functioning at a high level. Nobody else was. Despite being a surgical candidate which is refused to have she managed to overcome all of my problems. The office is also immaculately clean ( I am a germaphobe). Chiro in the past was hit or miss. Sometimes it helped and sometimes it actually made things worse. This has never happened with Rachel. I always feel better. Guaranteed. She will bend over backwards to accommodate my schedule. She is a rising star.

The entire staff is very helpful, kind, and extremely efficient. If it wasn't for Dr. Rolland Miro I strongly feel the bursitis in my shoulder would still be in major pain. If you have shoulder pain, rotator cuff issues, or bursitis don't hesitate, RUN to see this man! I came to Manhattan Sports Therapy skeptical because I had already visited two other physical therapist who were not getting me better. I had pain for 9 months until visiting MST. Miro was patient with my healing process and was always transparent when telling me what stages I was in my recovery. Now I am fully recovered back to pumping iron and putting on a backpack without pain. Thank you to everyone in that office for making my experience great from start to finish.

I was having severe inner hip and lower back pain for months. Every step I took was painful. I couldn't run, bike, swim or even attempt a workout. I started seeing a PT twice a week for a month and nothing happened, in fact, my pain increased. So, I decided to try another Physician and I found Manhattan Sports Therapy and Dr. Rolland Miro. After my first appointment, I knew I made the right choice. I started seeing Dr. Rolland twice a week. After my first week, I could already feel a HUGE difference. After week three, the pain in my hip was completely gone. It's now been two months and as I continue my treatment, I'm feeling better and better. I ran five miles for the first time in over a year last week! I highly highly recommend Dr. Rolland. He's the best at what he does and he's very knowledgable when it comes to health and fitness all around.
