Pain Free Acupuncture

Migraine

Migraine is different from the common headache. It is a severe headache, usually on one side of the head and often accompanied by nausea or light sensitivity. In our clinic, we use Acupuncture, Electro-stimulated Acupuncture, and Herb to treat the migraine. The best time for acupuncture treatment is when the migraine happens. The herbal nasal cream will be used for reducing the pain too. After every section of the treatment, the severity and frequency of migraine will be less. Eventually, the migraine will be gone.

For migraine patients, it is better to avoid the following Six Kinds of Food:

  1. 3C food : Cheese, Chocolate, Citrus fruits, and salted Sardine, tomato, milk, fermented milk products which are rich in Tyrosine. Tyrosine is the main cause of the spasm of blood vessels  which can stimulate the migraine. 

  2. Hotdog and sausage 

Hot dogs and  sausages contain nitrite additives and MSG which can cause migraines.

  1. Artificial sweeteners

Some drinks and food labeled ‘Sugar Free’ contain the artificial sweetener which can cause irritation and disturb the nerves, increase the muscle contraction therefore causing migraine.

  1. Coffee

Caffeine can stimulate the nerve system, disturb sleep, so everyday should be less than 100 mg.

  1. Red wine

All alcoholic drinks can cause headaches, especially Red Wine. If you really want to drink, you can choose white wine.

  1. Pain-killer medicine

Not taking too much pain medicine, which can cause chronic headaches.
