Migraine sufferers will do anything to be free of the pulsing, throbbing pain of these debilitating headaches. The pain has been found to be three times more common in women than men. The sufferers can often tell when they're about to get a migraine because of warning symptoms just before a headache starts. A new study finds that using acupuncture for a migraine helps reduce the number of days patients suffer, and might have longer effects on the body. Acupuncture migraines treatment Boca Raton offers several advantages for the patients.

In a particular research, just about 500 participants were treated using either a sham treatment meant to mimic real acupuncture or authentic traditional Chinese acupuncture. The subjects didn't know which treatment they were getting during the study that lasted four weeks.

The Gallbladder meridian begins near the outer edge of the eye traveling upward towards the back of the head. As it travels down through the occipital region, it finds its way through the top of the shoulders at the peak of the trapezius muscles. This is the area midway between the base of the neck and the top part of the shoulder joint and is usually tight in people with chronic headaches (and it tends to get even tighter when stressed). From the shoulder, the Gallbladder channel then travels down the side of the body, through the gluteal region, the lateral aspect of both legs, and ends at the fourth toe.

If you have held tension in these muscles for a while, you may not know this, but you might be responsible for the problems you are facing. Some acupuncturists may also use Tui Na (Chinese massage) alongside the this treatment.

Depending on your condition, your acupuncturist may examine your tongue or take your pulse. Both major diagnostic techniques used in traditional Chinese medicine. The acupuncturist may use electrical stimulation or other techniques to enhance acupuncture's therapeutic effect. Depending on the severity of the condition and the duration, your first visit may last between 30-60 minutes. It may require several visits before you see significant improvement.

When you go for the treatment, the acupuncturist will use tiny, sterile needles. Normally between 6 and 12 are used. Some will probably be around your head and neck, and some elsewhere on the body. The acupuncturist's technique, and the smallness of the needles means that it doesn't hurt, and most people find the experience relaxing.

The needles may be left in for a while (probably between 10-30 minutes) or they may be inserted and then removed straight away, depending on the style of acupuncture.
