Headaches

If you suffer from headaches, you’re not alone. According to the American Council for Headache Education, an estimated 50 million Americans experience some form of severe headache. About 26 million Americans have migraine headaches, either with an aura (classic migraine) or without (common migraine). An aura is a group of nerve symptoms experienced by approximately 5 percent of migraine sufferers. About 20-60 minutes before the headache, you may start to see things like flashing lights or zigzag lines, or experience partial loss of vision. Typically, an aura lasts between 10 and 25 minutes.

Migraines are the most common cause of recurring headaches, but other conditions can cause your head to ache as well, including high blood pressure, glaucoma, or sinusitis. Less likely causes are cerebral tumors and meningitis. Your acu-pro can work with your conventional physician to ensure everyone fully understands from both a western and eastern perspective what’s causing your head to throb before you begin treatment.
