I actively participate in acupuncture. I am not sure if it helps however I find that its a safe space. It is a space where I can "unload" to the acupuncturist (tell her my complaints) and take the hour session to try and re-center myself.

I'm doing acupuncture once a month and it seems to decrease the severity and # of my BAD migraines and decrease the "not as bad" ones. also, I had a muscle spasm in my back that NOTHING helped except for acupuncture!!! it was immediate!!! I did go to acup. once WITH a "small" migraine and it went away immediately too!!

I go to acupuncture once a week but now will be reducing that to every other week because of the cost. I'm not sure if it's really helping with the migraines because I get botox too, but it is very relaxing so I really enjoy it. I guess you could say that it is my one hour of "me time" I do feel like it helps with the general achiness that I feel throughout my entire body.

Tried it and acupressure when I had an allergic reaction to the needles and it made my migraines worse.
