Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for Headaches and Migraines in Gahanna & New Albany, Ohio
Headaches and migraines can have a significant impact on your daily life—affecting your ability to work, rest, and feel like yourself. Whether you experience occasional tension headaches, sinus headaches, hormonal headaches, or more frequent, debilitating migraines, treatment should go beyond temporary relief and address the underlying patterns contributing to your symptoms. We help patients achieve reduced frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines without the reliance of medications to treat you as a whole person and address the root cause.
“I came to Sasha for help with migraines and I have been overwhelmed by the rapid and effective success of the treatments. I have had significant and sustained relief after only three treatments and have maintained the relief with weekly/biweekly treatments.”
At our clinic, we take an integrative approach to care, using acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) alongside natural supportive therapies to help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines while improving overall regulation of the nervous system.
In TCM, headaches may be related to factors such as tension, stress, posture, hormonal shifts, digestion, sleep, or circulation. Treatments are tailored to your individual presentation and may include a combination of therapies such as acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, herbal recommendations, massage, and other supportive therapies as needed.
Our goal is not only to treat symptoms, but to treat the root cause of your pain to help support long-term balance so you can experience fewer headaches, improved resilience to triggers, and a better quality of life.
