helping difficult migraine with acupuncture and herbs

Dr win Huang

Ms Helen, getting a headache for ten years. It occurred many times a year, it lasts one week or more every time, especially it would occur after getting cold or drunk or feeling too tired. She felt prickly pain in the right back of the head, which radiated to the right eye, so she had seen a specialist in the eye. The pain was aggravated by turning the head to the right side or pressing the right back of the head with a hand, relieved by keeping warm or good rest. Sleeping was not good, because of the headache. She would go to bed and have a good rest when it occurred every time, it affected her work and normal life. She had looked for any way to treat her headache in western and oriental medicine but had not gotten a big benefit, so she was very sad, she thought that she would have the headache to death, and she did not want to look for any treatment for her headache, she believed that there was no treatment for her headache in the world right now. fortunately, her friend had headaches too, had acupuncture in my clinic, and had a good effect after treatments, so her friend introduced her to see me to try acupuncture and herbs

I did Chinese diagnoses for the patient depending on her case history and tongue and pulse and made a treatment plan. I also made western medicine diagnoses depending on her symptom, my examination and my experience, it is occipital neuralgia, is a nerve inflammation. If the inflammation was worse when she was tired or had a cold or drunk, she had a bad headache, if the inflammation was better when her health condition was good, she had no headache, but the inflammation still stay in the right back of the head, when her health condition is not good, the headache will occur, so it is the reason of frequent headache.

I choose some points in TaiYang Chennal and local points. And did acupuncture three sessions a week, and the headache is gone after four weeks. I also give her some herbs during acupuncture for headaches. Patients satisfy my treatments.

 

I have done acupuncture for 31 yrs, I got a doctoral degree in acupuncture from a Chinese university in 1995, and I had acupuncture work experience in a big hospital in China, and I have the Chinese medicine clinic in Mt Albert Auckland NZ from 2002, so if you would like to choose an acupuncturist to fix your problem, please come to my clinic, you will have an excellent choice.
