How Acupuncture Works for Headache Relief
1. Improved Blood Flow and Oxygenation: Acupuncture enhances blood circulation to the head and neck, ensuring the brain and surrounding tissues receive adequate oxygen and nutrients. This process helps reduce inflammation, one of the primary contributors to headaches and migraines.
2. Balancing the Nervous System: Chronic headaches and migraines can cause overactivity in the sympathetic nervous system (responsible for the body’s stress response). Acupuncture helps reset the nervous system by reducing overactivity and promoting relaxation, which decreases headache frequency.
3. Release of Endorphins: Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers) and serotonin, which helps elevate mood and reduce headache intensity.
4. Reducing Muscle Tension: Many headaches are caused by tight muscles in the neck, shoulders, and scalp. Acupuncture works to relax these muscles, relieving the pressure that can trigger headaches or migraines.
