Acupuncture is a highly debated topic on its efficacy to reduce the intensity, duration, or frequency of migraines.

Some migraine sufferers have noted that they have experienced great reductions in their migraines from acupunture, while others have stated that they felt little to no relief.

Share and discuss with other migraine sufferers, show support, and offer advice.

What has been your experience with acupuncture for migraines? Have you had any success?

I did try acupuncture and it did work to some extent... my migraines went from being multiple times a day at times to a couple of times a day. I never have had migraines like some people who have had them straight for days. My migraines usually come and go throughout the day, but can remain all day on bad days. But I usually get some sort of break from the migraines.

I could not continue with the acupuncture because the cost was just too much and the drive was not reasonable. I have an acupuncturist closer to my house, but he is a chiropractor, who I went to once, but he seems to just want to adjust me and perform minutes of acupuncture... which is not what I want nor what helped.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.

@Somya.P My neurologist gave me a script through the state dispensary for aid with sleep. It helps with sleep. The script is for low dose THC, so it aids with minor pain. I have learned through my trials of product that CBD gummies help with sleep, but not pain. In my state, CBD gummies can be bought at local corner stores.
