Can acupuncture help migraines?
Yes acupuncture can be very effective treating migraines. I also suggest patients make some dietary changes and avoid dairy wheat sugar chocolate and alcohol and often migraines will go away. However certain pharmaceutical medications can cause migraines, sometimes the very medication used to treat migraines can give the person migraines. That’s a secondary cause a person might want to explore. READ MORE
Is acupuncture effective for varicose veins?
Varicose veins is a rather insidious condition. Certainly acupuncture can help with any kind of pain, but the individual would want to make some lifestyle changes and take certain herbs and vitamins, in particular vitamin C with rutin and bioflavonoids to help strengthen capillary integrity.

Is acupuncture good in early pregnancy?
Hi there, Acupuncture is generally very helpful at any stage of pregnancy. For example, it can help some of the conditions related to pregnancy as: nausea, tight muscles/sciatica or for better sleep, edema or even a restless baby. Acupuncture can help give a pregnant mother more energy, better sleep and is generally a good “tonic” for the future mother’s overall well-being. Additionally, acupuncture can help breech positions, varicose veins and help prepare the mother’s body for delivery, as well as, help with lactation and postpartum emotional issues. Hope this answer helps addresses your questions and congratulations! Jody Eisemann, L.Ac., NCCAOM READ MORE
