If you live in St Petersburg, Clearwater, Pinellas Park, or Gulfport, and you’ve been battling migraines, you already know—these aren’t just “bad headaches.” They can knock you out for hours, even days. But here’s a question more and more people are asking: Can acupuncture help with migraines?
At Neuroplasticity St Pete, we’ve seen the answer firsthand: yes, acupuncture can be a powerful tool for managing migraines—especially when combined with holistic medicine and chiropractic care.
Migraines often stem from more than just one trigger. They can be influenced by stress, nervous system imbalance, hormonal changes, neck misalignment, or even gut health. So just treating the pain with medication doesn’t always get to the root. That’s where acupuncture comes in.
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body—no, it doesn’t hurt—to encourage natural blood flow, calm the nervous system, and regulate inflammatory responses. In short, it helps your body reset itself.
We had a patient from Gulfport who came in with 10+ years of migraines. She was skeptical about needles but open to trying something new. After a few weeks of acupuncture paired with Upper Cervical chiropractic adjustments and some basic nutrition changes, her migraine frequency dropped by more than half. She said, “I finally feel like I have control again.”
What’s even better is that acupuncture often helps reduce the severity of migraines, not just how often they happen. Many patients also report better sleep, fewer tension headaches, and reduced stress—because holistic medicine doesn’t treat one problem in isolation. It supports the whole person.
At Neuroplasticity St Pete, we take time to listen, evaluate, and design an approach based on you. Each 30-minute session gives space for healing—not just quick fixes. If needed, we’ll integrate other supportive therapies like Low-Level Light Therapy, BrainTAP, or even gentle detox suggestions.
So yes, acupuncture can help with migraines—but even more powerfully when it’s part of a bigger, personalized plan.
