I use to go. It did cut down on my migraines. I am actually wanting to go back but it's expensive. The regular acupuncture treatment for migraines did not help me. But once she started treating me hormonally, that is what helped. It was not a miracle cure but I have noticed an increase again since I stopped going.
Good luck!
Hello,
I apologize, I have not gone on the site in awhile. (apparently a few years). The hormone treatment is through acupunture. She concentrates more on making me regular with my period and controlling my cramps etc... It's all holistic. I have been going back. It's not 100% helping but I notice a difference when I miss a week or two. My acupuncturist has been encouraging me to go to a endocrinologist? She definitley thinks there is a link between my hormones and migraines.
