Research shows acupuncture can be quite effective for migraine management. Clinical trials have demonstrated that acupuncture can reduce migraine frequency by about 50%, with many people experiencing benefits that last up to six months after treatment.

The treatment works by:
• Reducing headache severity and frequency
• Helping with migraine-related nausea
• Potentially improving sleep issues
• Reducing stress and anxiety levels (a common migraine trigger) For best results, it's recommended to attend 1-2 sessions weekly for 5-8 weeks. While acupuncture won't cure migraines, it's generally considered safe when performed by a certified practitioner.

Common side effects are minimal but may include:
• Bruising
• Minor bleeding
• Soreness
• Occasional lightheadedness

Important note: If you're pregnant, have a bleeding disorder, or use a pacemaker, be sure to discuss these conditions with your healthcare provider before starting acupuncture treatment.
