Migraines

Can acupuncture help with migraines?

Yes, acupuncture has very good results in treating migraine headache pain. When we use  acupuncture for migraine treatment we look at the triggers for the migraines and what is going on with the rest of your body.  Our goal is to not only reduce your migraine pain, but if possible, stop you from experiencing migraines.

How long does it take to get rid of migraines all together?

Each situation is unique – there are many things that can trigger headaches.  Some migraines are hormonal, or caused by barometric pressure and weather, some by food or drink.  We will work with you to determine what your triggers are to help reduce or eliminate the instances of your headaches. Acupuncture is often effective in decelerating a migraine once it has started, and/or keeping it from becoming acute if treatment is administered in the early stages.

Have you seen good results using acupuncture to get rid of migraines?

Yes, definitely. Some of our patients have come to us because they had been to pain and migraine clinics and had not experienced the results they had hope for. They were still getting migraines and some were experiencing other side effects as well. If you suffer from migraine headaches it is very likely you will benefit from acupuncture treatment – our goal is to help you feel better quickly.

LOCATIONS & APPOINTMENTS

The Wellness Studio is my most favorite place because it cured my terrible migraines!! It also drastically improved my vertigo symptoms. I see Jeanette for acupuncture and after just a few treatments I had no more migraines after a year and a half of struggling with this issue. No medicine, no side effects, immediate results, and a world of a difference! She is so flexible with her schedule, takes all different aspects of your life/health into account, and truly listens. I owe the world to Jeanette, she is a miracle worker!!

This place is fantastic! Everyone who works there is kind, professional and helpful. Jeanette is a miracle worker! She is extremely accommodating and patient. She has made me a true believer of acupuncture. When nothing else helped my migraines, she did. I’ve referred family and friends there several times. If something is wrong with your health or you just aren’t feeling quite right, try this place!

When I first started going to Jeanette I had several problems for her to tackle. First, I have suffered from migraine headaches for over 20 years and have gone to specialists who have explained that all they can find is an allergy to MSG, natural flavoring and preservatives. I tried to modify my diet, but many products do not really give all the ingredients so it was hit and miss. Then I started with Jeanette and within about one month I started feeling relief and only an occasional migraine. Then as the treatments progressed I had fewer migraines, until now they are almost totally gone. Now I can call Jeanette and she can work with me over the phone to relieve the migraine so it will disappear quickly. The next challenge is that I have developed moderate adrenal fatigue. I have been working with specialists on this for several years and do not like the hormone pill option or the side effects from them. So I discontinued treatment. Jeanette has help keep this under control and when I am stressed and feeling fatigued I call Jeanette and she helps me work through it over the phone. I do not like taking medications for problems and if there is an alternative to medication I research it and give it a try.
Jeanette’s treatments using NMT have been more successful than any of the other options and I am very happy and satisfied and will continue to work with her.

The Wellness Studio – Lincoln Park

The Wellness Studio is absolutely incredible. My back problems have greatly improved, migraines and teeth grinding have completely disappeared and digestive issues are on the road to recovery due to the chiropractic services of Dr. Nancy Gomez and the Acupuncture of Jeanette Shuler. I cannot speak more highly of the dedication, talent, knowledge, graciousness and thoroughness of these practitioners. At the Wellness Studio I feel like Dorothy, the Tinman, the Scarecrow or Lion entering OZ. Then I get all spruced up, feel like a million bucks and walk out a new person ready to handle the aches, pains and stress the week will bring. I am sure that all the people at the Wellness Studio are fantastic because of the culture there and the quality of each person I have
encountered there. I have recommended Nancy Gomez and Jeanette Shuler to my friends and family and consider them two of the most effective healers I have ever encountered.
