Migraines can be unbearable, affecting your daily life and activities. But what if there was a natural treatment that could prevent migraines from occurring in the first place?
At Dr Vitalis Acupuncture we understand your pain and are dedicated to providing a natural, effective solution through time-tested and evidence-based acupuncture techniques.
When done correctly, acupuncture can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines. In fact, up to 59% of patients see a 50% or more reduction in headaches after just three months of treatment. Moreover, the beneficial effects last for months after the treatment. And the scientific evidence is mounting up to where this time tested treatment is recommended by The Best Practice Advocacy Centre New Zealand.

Why let another day be overshadowed by the threat of a migraine? At Dr Vitalis Acupuncture, we specialise in turning the tide against migraines of all types, from those with aura to hormonal, vestibular, and hemiplegic migraines. Your first step towards reclaiming your life from migraines is just an appointment away.
In 2020 systematic review of Acupuncture vs. Pharmacological Prophylaxis of Migraine concluded that acupuncture is superior to medication. It outperforms pharmaceutical options both at reducing intensity and frequency of the headaches. Furthermore, if you choose this naturally safe option, you are likely to suffer fewer days with migraine per month.
Acupuncture is now a recognised treatment for migraines by organisations such as the World Health Organization and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence in the UK. It’s a safe and legitimate option for long-term relief.
“For tension headache, migraine and other kinds of headache due to a variety of causes, acupuncture has performed favourably in trials comparing it with standard therapy”
If you suffer from migraines, chances are your neck muscles are stiff and tight. In fact, almost two-thirds of migraine sufferers experience neck pain before, during, or after a migraine episode.
Further, the tension in your neck muscles can persist between the episodes of migraines and contribute to the occurrence of them.
We design our treatments to address neck pain and migraines simultaneously. Make one leave and often, the other one will follow.
When used correctly, acupuncture is not only effective option for migraine sufferers, it is extraordinarily safe, even during pregnancy.
For instance, Topiramate (Topamax) is one of the drugs indicated for the prevention of migraine headaches. Acupuncture has been shown to be both more effective and 10 times safer compared to Topiramate treatment in a study published in Cephalgia.
