Yes, in my experience acupuncture can be effective for the treatment of acute and chronic migraines. Deep needling is another technique that can be effective to reduce muscle spasms, and nerve impingement and providing trigger point release for migraines. Not all physicians and not all acupuncturists do deep needling.
