Could Acupressure Help Your Migraines?

Living with migraines can be debilitating, affecting every aspect of daily life. While conventional treatments are valuable, many people are seeking complementary approaches to manage their symptoms. Recent research suggests that auricular acupressure – a gentle, non-invasive therapy that stimulates specific points on the ear – could offer significant relief.


The Science Behind Ear Acupressure


Clinical studies have shown remarkable results for migraine sufferers using auricular acupressure over a period of 12 weeks. In a 2020 study, participants receiving regular ear acupressure treatment experienced a 50.6% reduction in migraine frequency¹. Another compelling study in 2023 demonstrated that patients using auricular acupressure saw their pain intensity decrease by 41%².


What's particularly encouraging is that these improvements came without significant side effects, making it a safe option to explore alongside conventional treatments.


The Stress-Migraine Connection


We know that stress often triggers or worsens migraine attacks. Finding effective ways to manage stress levels can be crucial in reducing migraine frequency and severity. This is where a comprehensive approach to migraine management becomes valuable.


 AcuCalm at Home targets migraines in two ways


Getting regular professional acupressure treatments isn't always practical or affordable. That's why as an auricular acupuncturist I am excited to introduce AcuCalm at Home, a convenient monthly service designed to support your migraine management routine.

- Medical grade titanium acupressure beads (20-day supply)
