If you regularly suffer from migraines or other headaches for any time, you likely tried various remedies for relief. If you're feeling discouraged because your current migraine management strategy isn't yielding the best results, you'll be glad to know that there is hope! Marc has helped many patients in similar conditions to yours with Acupuncture, Massage, Aromatherapy, and Breath-Work.

Here's what acupuncture can do for migraine and headache sufferers and how it works.

How Acupuncture Helps

The root cause of many headaches is muscle tension located in the neck and upper back. Relaxing these muscles often has the added benefit of minimizing or eliminating migraines and other types of headaches. However, we need to look at the causes of stress and muscle tension and find ways to cope with stress and daily frustration.

How Acupuncture Works

This treatment is a simple procedure that begins with the palpation of tender areas on your body, some will be local areas, and some will be distal areas. Marc will then use sterile, thin needles on specific body points to release a positive energy flow into bodily tissues and meridian system. This stimulates the production of endorphins and triggers the circulatory and musculoskeletal system to alleviate tension, which subdues headaches while promoting a sense of calmness. Essential oils will also be applied. This further relaxes your nervous system. Marc uses his line of carefully crafted essential oils designed to promote openness to acupuncture's healing art.

How Breath-Work and Relaxation Play a Role

Most people take short, hurried breaths that only leave them more anxious and tense. Marc teaches his patients breath-work techniques that aids in relaxing the mind and muscles and increase overall energy - the deeper you breathe, the more alive and present you will be.
