Headaches and Migraines

In Chinese Medicine, headaches are considered to be the experience of stagnation or turbulence in the circulation of energy and blood flow. This may be due to injury or internal imbalances in the organ systems created by the stressful lifestyles that most of us lead.

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs have an excellent chance to not only relieve a headache in progress but to eliminate the source of the headaches and help restore a person to an improved quality of life. You will start to feel better in a few weeks but in order to treat the underlying cause it usually takes 2 months.

Acupuncture is not only effective for migraine headaches, but also works very well with tension headaches, cluster headaches, post-traumatic headaches, and disease-related headaches that might be due to sinus problems or high blood pressure.

Pain is caused by a blockage in circulation. When you have a lack of blood flow, your muscles and nerves do not get the nutrients they need to function normally.

In treatment of headaches and migraines, there is also the exploration of what triggers may be present in your life. Avoiding these triggers, and improving the diet and lifestyle in general are some the additional ways in which migraines and headaches can be avoided.

They’re lucky to have Dr Loretta on staff for PT and to help get the root of issues. She really helped my neck!

I think I have finally found a solution for my chronic neck and back stiffness. I paid my first visit to Sage for massage and acupuncture therapy and the results were immediate. Highly recommend for those in the Grand Lake area. We are lucky to have Sage on Grand Ave!

Wow! Sage Acupuncture and Massage is a hidden gem in Grand Lake. Calm and welcoming ambiance with talented therapists. My massage and cupping with Spencer was fantastic! Her pressure was soothing and her intuition led her to all my areas asking for attention. Will definitely return for more bodywork.

Just had an amazing experience with Spencer. 5 stars isn’t enough - She’s an absolute magician! No BS, I think it was the best massage I’ve ever had. If you’re in / around Grand Lake, you have to stop in. You will not be disappointed.

First time going to your establishment and was greeted like I had been coming there forever. My therapist was Alexa who was amazing, very good at explaining and working out my sore spots. Awesome experience and will for sure be back!

I got the 90 minute hot stone treatment done by Anastasia. She was absolutely amazing, she worked areas of my body I didn’t even know needed attention. I left feeling like I was on cloud 9, thank you so much!
