TREATING HEADACHE WITH ACUPUNCTURE

• Headache is the most common complaint doctors
  receive from people of almost all age groups.
  There can be many reasons for a headache to occur
  ranging from improper food habits, stress and
  tension.
• These causes can be termed into two categories,
  primary and secondary. Primary reasons triggering
  headache are negative environment and migraine,
  which is complex and unusual than other headache
  problems. It is mainly caused due to enlargement
  of blood vessels present the brain. These vessels
  release chemicals causing inflammation and severe
  pain in head.
• Whereas, secondary factors causing headache can
  be due to some medical problems like infections
  and injuries as well! Though, there are several
  ways of treating headaches including intake of
  pills, application of pain relief ointments,
  acupuncture is considered to be a beneficial
  alternative to cure headaches. Many clinics for
  acupuncture in Perth treat migraine and other
  headaches without using medicines.

What is Acupuncture? It is believed that any
pain above the neck area in a human body occurs
because of the vascular imbalance and muscle
tension. And can be treated by triggering the
acupuncture points from manually applied
pressure. This technique involves application
of pressure at some specific regions of the body.
What happens is that when these points are
treated, blocked meridians of the body clear up
making way for flow of energy. This energy helps
in release of a natural pain killer produced by
the body, named as endrophins. Several experts
treating acupuncture in Morley believe that it
not only heals the physical pain but also
attempts to remove the ailment completely from
the body.
