According to the Migraine Research Foundation, approximately 39 million people in the U.S. suffer from migraine disease. Some migraine studies predict that up to 12% of adults in the U.S. have migraines, with 4 million suffering from chronic migraines. Worldwide, it is estimated that 1 billion men, women, and even children suffer from migraine disease.\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Migraines are serious and often incapacitating. Here are some additional statistics from the Migraine Research Foundation:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Migraine disease is the 6<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> most disabling illness in the world<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every 10 seconds, someone in the U.S. goes to the emergency room complaining of head pain, and approximately 1.2 million visits are for acute migraine attacks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While most sufferers experience attacks once or twice a month, more than 4 million people have <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/migraineresearchfoundation.org\/about-migraine\/what-is-migraine\/chronic-migraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chronic daily migraine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is defined as at least 15 migraine days per month<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than 90% of migraine sufferers are unable to work or function normally during their migraine<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>three benefits to using acupuncture to treat migraines<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>1) Prevention<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evidence also shows that acupuncture can reduce migraine frequency and possibly even prevent the onset of migraines in some people. A 2015 study published by the American Headache Society found that acupuncture may help prevent migraine headaches or decrease occurrences and could be more effective than more traditional headache remedies including prescription drugs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2) Saving Money<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also important to note that some migraine treatments are expensive.

However, studies show acupuncture may help relieve the pain associated with migraines. According to a 2016 Cochrane review, approximately half of people regularly seeing an acupuncturist say they have reduced their reliance on painkillers after they have received acupuncture treatment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As with many prescription medications, some carry significant side effects. Acupuncture is a wonderful drug-free option to investigate if you suffer from chronic migraine pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find out what treatment options are available for your chronic migraine pain. Keeping a log of headache symptoms both before and after acupuncture sessions can help you understand your potential triggers and show you how impactful the treatments are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t spend another day with chronic migraine pain.
