What are the causes:

- Stress and emotional triggers
- Poor sleep patterns
- Dietary triggers such as caffeine, alcohol, or certain other food intolerances
- Dehydration

What treatments can help
Acupuncture
Your acupuncturist will use very fine needles placed in carefully selected points on your body. Many people feel a mild tingling or warmth during treatment, followed by a sense of calm and relaxation. They will target specific points to calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and reduce muscle tension. This will help to ease the intensity and frequency of migraines.
How you will feel after treatment
You will experience immediate relief from pressure and pain, with smoother skin and greater comfort in your shoes. Walking will feel easier and lighter (sometimes like you are walking on air), especially in areas that were previously causing pain.
