Treating headaches with acupuncture in Stuttgart
Headaches are one of the most common complaints that can have a massive impact on everyday life. In my practice for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Stuttgart, I offer individual acupuncture treatments aimed at improving your quality of life and relieving headaches.
Various causes and symptoms of headaches from a TCM perspective
Headaches can manifest themselves in different ways: dull pressure, stabbing pain or a feeling of tension in the head and neck area. From a TCM perspective, there are many causes of headaches, including stress, muscular tension or emotional strain. Chronic headaches are often caused by a more complex disease pattern, such as Qi, blood or Yang deficiency. This applies in particular to cluster headaches or migraines. The pattern to be treated is determined with the help of traditional pulse diagnosis.
Acupuncture can help to release blockages in the energy flow (Qi) and promote balance in the body. The aim is to reduce discomfort and make everyday life easier by treating the diagnosed pattern individually. Chinese herbal therapy can help to build up Qi, blood or Yang and complements the pain-relieving effect of acupuncture. Moxibustion is also indicated for deficiency syndromes in particular.
Additional symptoms in headache patients:
- Tense neck and shoulder muscles
- Concentration problems
- Exhaustion
- Sensitivity to light and noise
- Dizziness
- Blurred vision
The acupuncture treatment is individually adapted to treat these accompanying symptoms.
Specific treatment for tension headaches and cluster headaches
- Tension headaches:
These are often caused by muscular tension and stress. Acupuncture can help to relax the muscles and promote well-being. Cupping also helps to relax tense muscles. Chinese medicinal therapy uses herbs that have a relaxing effect on the muscles.
- Cluster headaches:
As mentioned above, this rarer but very intense form of headache is based on more complex patterns. With the help of a precise medical history in conjunction with traditional pulse diagnosis, the underlying pattern is determined and an individual treatment strategy is developed.
A holistic approach to the treatment of headaches
In my Stuttgart practice, I place particular emphasis on an individual and holistic approach. In addition to acupuncture, I also use other TCM methods such as moxibustion or Chinese herbal therapy as required. The aim is to treat the causes of the complaints comprehensively and sustainably.
Your advantages:
- Individual treatment plans: Each treatment is based on your personal symptoms and individual disease pattern.
- Holistic approach: In addition to symptom relief, the underlying causes of the disease are integrated into the treatment concept.
- Support in everyday life: The aim is to improve your quality of life through individually tailored treatment.
