ACUPUNCTURE FOR HEADACHES & MIGRAINES

Heal your headache.

Wellnest Denver Acupuncture offers natural, specialized migraine and headache treatments that go beyond quick fixes to prevent pain from the root.

RELIEVE PAIN

CORRECT IMBALANCES

SUPPORT & PREVENT

Sometimes, pain killers just don’t cut it…

Medications and ice packs are helpful when you’re in the throes of a “bad episode.” But when you struggle with chronic migraines and headaches, you don’t just want a temporary fix. You want relief that lasts.

With the right support, you can heal your headaches.

At Wellnest Denver Acupuncture, our goal is not just to alleviate your pain, but to stop headaches at the source. We use a variety of effective natural therapies to get to the root of your migraines and live free from pain.

Our Solutions for Natural Headache and Migraine Relief

From pain relief to prevention, we make chronic migraines a problem of the past.

Acupuncture

We use acupuncture and electrical stimulation (e-stim) to restore mind-body balance and address the root causes of your headaches.

Bodywork

Bodywork therapies like cupping, gua sha, and dry needling resolve the structural issues that can cause headaches (like muscle tension and trigger points).

Herbal Medicine

We use herbal medicine to support other therapies when the root cause of your headaches is hormonal or internal imbalances.

Dietary Therapy

Migraines and headaches heal faster when you eat a diet that avoids headache triggers, reduces inflammation, and supports your body’s constitutional needs.

Garryn is so great to work with. She listens closely to my needs and adjusts and tracks the treatments accordingly. Since seeing her, my body is much more regulated and my chronic headaches are under control…I really lucked out with Garryn. Would recommend highly!

“I don’t have headaches anymore…”

I have had years of chronic neck and shoulder pain that would cause frequent headaches. I had tried everything to relieve the tension in my shoulders but nothing seemed to work. After my first session with Garryn, I noticed an immediate difference. I don’t have headaches anymore and feel great.

4 Steps to Balance Hormones Naturally: Hormone Imbalance Guide

Hormones may be small, but they are mighty. These tiny messengers play significant roles in how our bodies function. They manage how you use energy, how much weight you put on, how happy you are, how well you sleep, and your ability to create healthy children. Unfortunately, hormones are also tricky.

FAQ: Wellnest Denver Acupuncture for Migraine & Headaches

Curious about how acupuncture can help you reduce the frequency and intensity of your migraines naturally? Get answers to some of our most frequently asked questions:

What types of headaches can acupuncture help with?

Almost any pain condition is treatable with acupuncture – and that includes headaches, migraines, and the issues that can cause them. We’ve been successful in reducing and preventing these types of headaches and related conditions:

Does acupuncture relieve other migraine symptoms?

Some people experience symptoms like aura, light sensitivity, or nausea during their migraines. We’ll talk in-depth about how your migraines present to create a treatment plan that relieves your pain as well as other accompanying symptoms.

How many acupuncture treatments will I need to get pain relief?

To get the best results for lasting headache relief, we recommend a series of 10 acupuncture visits. But, most people feel some level of relief after their first visit. If you come for acupuncture during an active headache, it’s likely that your pain will reduce significantly during the visit. As will all conditions, however, it takes time and consistency to achieve lasting results and prevent migraines from recurring.

During your visit, we’ll discuss the factors that may contribute to your healing time and devise a plan to get you living headache-free as soon as possible. This could be a handful of sessions or a few months of regular maintenance care. In general, chronic headaches that have been around for months or years will take longer to heal than more recent headache conditions.

What should I expect at my first acupuncture visit?

At Wellnest Denver, we aim for all our treatments to be gentle, effective, and enjoyable. Whether it’s your first acupuncture visit or your fiftieth, we’ll walk you through every step of the way and make sure you are comfortable from start to finish!

During your first visit, we start by discussing your headache type, triggers, and other symptoms. We’ll also discuss your health history, lifestyle, diet, and other medical details. Then, we’ll dive into your acupuncture treatment. You’ll get comfortable on our treatment bed and receive a tailored acupuncture session to target the root of your headaches.

Afterward, you’ll leave feeling rested and have actionable steps to take to help prevent headaches between visits. Click here to schedule your first visit!

Are there any side effects of acupuncture for headache relief?

Acupuncture is 100% safe and natural. Research shows that “acupuncture is at least as effective as prophylactic drug therapy for migraine and it is safe, long-lasting, and cost-effective.”

It’s normal to feel a slight pinch or tingle during your treatment, but those sensations subside after a few seconds and you will start to feel relaxed.

In addition to noticing fewer and less intense headaches, you may also experience better sleep, improved digestion, a stronger immune system, and a general sense of wellbeing.

Get rid of headaches for good.
