Recent successful cases from our patients

Luna, a 53-year-old, policy analyst: Hooked on a good feeling

Luna, was highly stressed from a demanding job and was suffering with severe migraines that presented with flu-like symptoms that would leave her completely incapacitated and bedridden for up to 3 days.  Once her migraines were starting, there would be a point of no return. Luna complained that Tylenol or Advil would only work sometimes and only mildly.  The initial treatment plan included acupuncture. During the first week, the relief lasted for just a few days before the headache re-emerged. In the following weeks, the frequency of the headaches had decreased, and the duration reduced as well. Where normally her headaches would develop into full migraines, it seemed to dissipate immediately with the help of some pain relievers.  After each session, Luna also reported feeling more calm and improved sleep quality. The feeling of stress was still there but she was better able to shrug it off.  2 months after her initial treatment, despite being very busy and active she “couldn’t believe” that her migraines were not triggered and was “hooked” on acupuncture. She expressed that she had not felt this good in the last 10 years.

Elizabeth, a 64-year-old, retired pharmacy technician: Leaving it all behind

Elizabeth had been retired for almost two years but hadn’t been able to enjoy her retirement because of the severity of her migraines.  Her work had been extremely stressful and she was sure that it was the cause of her migraines.  Incredibly frustrated and disappointed that the migraines were still there, we started Elizabeth on a simple treatment plan.  Within a few weeks Elizabeth began noticing that first her migraines were less severe.  Then they stopped happening as frequently.  Today, Elizabeth no longer experiences migraines or headaches.  She no longer has to plan her life around whether or not she think she will experience the debilitating pain.  She is able to play with her grandchildren and go for hikes with her husband and enjoy her life without reservation.

Lisa, a 28-year-old, office administrator: An end to monthly misery

Lisa began experiencing debilitating migraines when she was in university.  The migraines would begin about one week before her period came each month and lasted until the first or second day of her period.  Unfortunately her periods were very painful and despite being free from migraine-pain at that time, she still suffered significantly.  After her period finished, Lisa would sometimes experience headaches.  She complained that there was really only about one week to ten days a month where she felt ok.  We started Lisa on a treatment plan of acupuncture and herbal medicine.  Initially she noticed that her migraines didn’t last a full week, they became shorter and shorter until they stopped altogether.  She stopped having cramps during her period and headaches afterwards.  She is happy to report that she no longer misses work due to the migraines or periods.
