Acupuncture for migraine in Winterthur Töss

This page is for people in Winterthur and nearby with medically assessed migraine or recurring headaches. The discussion may include attack frequency, aura, light or noise sensitivity, sleep, neck tension, medication, and possible triggers.

A sudden severe headache unlike previous episodes, weakness, confusion, fainting, fever with neck stiffness, or new loss of vision or speech requires urgent medical care.

The appointment begins with your headache pattern, associated symptoms, current medication, and what has already been investigated. Mrs Zhang then uses pulse and tongue diagnosis to plan the session.

Depending on the findings, care may include acupuncture, tuina massage, or cupping, particularly when neck tension is part of the picture. Ear acupuncture, moxibustion, or herbal therapy may be considered separately.

Migraine varies from person to person, so the plan is reviewed using the pattern you record. TCM may complement trigger management and medical treatment. Continue prescribed medication unless the responsible clinician recommends a change.

The pages on back pain and sleep explain how neck pain and disrupted sleep are approached when they occur alongside headaches.
