Headaches and migraines can significantly impact your work, sleep, and quality of life. Acupuncture is commonly used as a natural approach to support relief from tension headaches and migraines.
Rather than simply masking symptoms, acupuncture focuses on regulating the nervous system, improving circulation, and reducing muscular tension — all factors that may contribute to recurring head pain.
Acupuncture may help support:
Tension headaches
Migraine frequency and intensity
Neck and shoulder tightness
Stress-related head pain
Hormone-related headaches
Many patients report feeling noticeable relief during or shortly after treatment, while longer-term care may focus on reducing recurrence patterns.
Individual results vary.
Specific acupuncture points are selected based on the location and pattern of your headaches.
For example:
Points on the hands and feet are commonly used to influence head pain
Points along the neck and shoulders may help release muscular tension
Distal points (away from the head) are often chosen to promote whole-body balance
Treatment is personalized during each session based on your current symptoms.
You can try this simple technique at home for temporary relief:
Locate the webbing between your thumb and index finger.
Apply firm but comfortable pressure with your opposite thumb.
Massage in small circular motions for 1–2 minutes.
Repeat on the other hand.
This point is commonly used to help ease tension-related head discomfort.
⚠️ Avoid strong stimulation of this point during pregnancy.
If headaches or migraines are affecting your daily life, acupuncture may help support your body’s natural pain-regulating mechanisms.
Your care plan may include:

Stress-reduction strategies
