Trusted & Recommended
Acupuncture is the only non-drug treatment recommended by NICE for both tension headaches and migraines.
NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guides NHS care and only recommends treatments backed by reliable, high-quality research.
What to Expect / Will it work for me?
There are many different types of headaches, not all of which respond well to acupuncture. Before starting treatment, we conduct a comprehensive consultation and examination, which helps us to.
• Diagnose the type of headache you have
• Inform you of the likelihood of success with acupuncture.
If acupuncture isn’t the right treatment for you, you will only be charged half of the first visit fee, £28.
How Acupuncture Works
- Releasing natural painkillers (β-endorphins, enkephalins, adenosine)
- Relaxing tight neck, scalp, and shoulder muscles and deactivating trigger points
- Calming the body’s stress response (lowering cortisol and adrenaline)
- Improving circulation (via CGRP) to oxygenate tissues and clear waste
- Balancing brain chemistry (serotonin, dopamine, GABA)
- Reducing neuroinflammation that sensitises nerves
