Relief for Headaches and Migraines in Toronto
The team at Tui Na Massage & Pain Clinic Toronto at the Total Wellness Centre is familiar with the various ailments that bring clients to us. Chief among their complaints are crushing headaches and migraines.
The debilitating pain from headaches and migraines can be caused by countless factors, including “mechanical” problems in the jaw, neck, and back, or infection, inflammation, hormones, weather systems, stress, and so on. Determining the cause in your case is an important step toward headache and migraine treatment and lasting relief, allowing our practitioners to properly treat the underlying causes.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) does not recognize migraines and recurring or chronic headaches as a single syndrome. According to Chinese medicine, symptoms are indicators of injury or imbalance that are unique to each individual. Using a variety of techniques such as acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and Tui Na massage, we can assist in restoring any imbalances found in the body.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Your diagnosis and treatment will depend on a number of variables discussed during a consultation. For example:
Is your headache typically behind your eyes and temples, or is it located more on the top of your head?
When do your headaches occur, i.e. night, morning, after eating, or a particular time of the month?
Do you find that a cold compress or a dark room can alleviate some of the pain?
Do you describe the pain as dull and throbbing, or sharp and piercing?
Why Choose a Traditional Approach to Headache and Migraine Treatment?
Acupuncture is a powerful pain reliever, without the side effects often associated with prescription and over-the-counter medications for headache relief. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine have been used to relieve headaches and migraines for thousands of years. Clinical usage and studies show that acupuncture is highly effective in treating headaches and migraines.
Acupuncture is now a widely accepted form of treatment for headaches and migraines in North America. Our seasoned acupuncturists and registered massage therapists are trained in providing pain relief as part of your headache or migraine treatment plan. We can help you manage your pain with acupuncture and Chinese herbs alone, or as part of a comprehensive treatment program.
