Your head wasn't meant to hurt this much, this often. Whether you're dealing with daily tension headaches or debilitating migraines, we're here to help you find relief and get back to feeling like yourself.
We work with people who've tried everything—medications, lifestyle changes, elimination diets—and are looking for something that actually addresses the patterns behind their headaches, not just the symptoms.
HOW ACUPUNCTURE SUPPORTS HEADACHE RELIEF
Headaches and migraines aren't just about what's happening in your head—they're often connected to tension patterns, stress responses, hormonal changes, and nervous system triggers throughout your body.
Acupuncture helps identify and interrupt these patterns before they build into full headaches. We work to reduce the frequency and intensity of episodes while helping your nervous system become less reactive to triggers.
Most of our headache patients use acupuncture as regular maintenance - like going to the gym or managing any other chronic condition. It's about preventing episodes rather than just treating them after they start.
ACUPUNCTURE FOR HEADACHES + MIGRAINES
If headaches are taking up too much space in your life, let’s work on that.
WHAT WE TREAT
-
Daily headaches, stress-related head pain, neck and shoulder tension headaches. We address both the immediate pain and the underlying tension patterns that trigger episodes.
-
Hormonal migraines, stress-triggered migraines, chronic migraine patterns, migraine with aura. We help reduce frequency, intensity, and duration of migraine episodes.
-
Seasonal cluster patterns, recurring cluster episodes. We work to extend pain-free periods and reduce cluster intensity.
-
Headaches originating from neck dysfunction, post-injury headaches, whiplash-related head pain. We address both the neck mechanics and resulting head pain.
-
Menstrual migraines, perimenopause headaches, hormone-related headache patterns. We help stabilize the hormonal fluctuations that trigger episodes.
-
Chronic sinus pressure, allergy-related headaches, seasonal headache patterns. We reduce inflammation and support drainage to prevent pressure buildup.

We've helped hundreds of people break out of chronic headache cycles. We understand that headaches don't just hurt—they affect your ability to work, parent, exercise, and enjoy life. Our treatments address the whole pattern, not just the pain.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
I have been coming to Point Prescription for about a year and acupuncture has helped me with everything from sports injuries to headaches.
-Matt
I struggle with a complex migraine disorder, and acupuncture (along with my regular medication) has been THE ticket! I have not experienced a migraine in a long time, and honestly I give her professional experience credit for this.
-Lorraine
"Point Prescription has become a vital part of my rest, recovery, and maintenance. Highly, highly recommended."
-Tony
"I started coming in 2021 for general wellness and regular maintenance for 2 herniated discs in my neck. Since then, I've been getting acupuncture 1-2 times a month and love how balanced my body feels afterward."

COMMON QUESTIONS
-
This depends on several factors—how severe your headaches are, how often you get them, and what works best for your schedule and preferences. We typically start with at least weekly visits, and some people prefer coming more frequently to break the cycle faster. Others do well with weekly sessions and love the consistent support. Once your headaches are under control, most people transition to maintenance somewhere between every other week to monthly. Some prefer to stay weekly because they love the consistent support and headache prevention. We'll start with what makes sense for your situation and adjust from there based on how you respond.
-
Yes. Research shows acupuncture can significantly reduce both migraine frequency and intensity. Many patients are able to reduce their reliance on rescue medications.
-
Acupuncture works differently than medication—instead of blocking pain signals, it helps prevent the cascading events that lead to headaches. Many people find relief with acupuncture even when medications haven't been effective.
-
We address both the hormonal fluctuations and the nervous system sensitivity that makes you prone to headaches during certain times of your cycle. This often helps with other hormonal symptoms too.
-
We can often provide immediate relief during acute episodes, though our main focus is on preventing future headaches. Many people notice their current headache improving during treatment.
-
Most people feel relaxed and notice reduced tension immediately after treatment. Some experience clearer thinking, better sleep that night, or fewer headache triggers the next day. Occasionally, as your body releases old tension patterns, headache patterns might temporarily shift or feel different before they improve. We'll monitor your progress closely and adjust treatment as needed.
