Migraine Headaches

At 93% Effective the NIH Supports Treating Migraines with Acupuncture & East-West Medicine

The National Institute of Health Emphasizes that Treating Migraine Headaches with Acupuncture and East-West Functional Medicine means state of the art treatments that take advantage of both Western Scientific Advances and the Safe, Effective, Natural, and Self-Sustaining, Functional Approach of Eastern Medicine.  Eastern Functional Medicine includes Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and is the only medicine in the world backed by 2,000 years of Written, Empirical Clinical Evidence to treat Migraine Headaches.  Recent clinical trials demonstrate the approach to be 93% effective in treating Migraine Headaches.

Migraine Headaches are one of the most debilitating medical conditions.  With uncontrollable, severe throbbing head pain, extreme sensitivty to light and noise, nausea and vomitting that can last for days, life can become completely dysfucntional during that time.  Unfortunately, the most commonly used treatment for migraine headaches is the use of pharamceutial drugs that are not effective if not taken on time and can have there own debilitating side affects such as insomnia, fatigue and impaired mental cognition. This can make patients hesitant to take the medications which then perpetuates the problem.  As a result, many patients are left frustrated with unpredictable migraine attacks leaving them disabled for days at a time, several times a month.  Migraines are also be triggerr by TMJ/TMD and Tinnitus.

However, the Comprehensive Functional Approach of East-West Medicine and its wisdom of 2000 years of written clinical evidence for treating migraine head aches has proven to be more reliable and effective as medications without any side affects.  For this reason the National Institute of Health recommends Acupuncture and East-West Medicine as a primariy form of treatment for migraine headaches.  See more information below under Dr. Barrett’s Comprehensive Approach.

The Functional Medicine Approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the only medicine in the world that has treated migraine headaches naturally with the wisdom of 2000 years of written empirical clinical evidence.  Treatments may include Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Herbology, Diet & Nutrition, Exercise, and Stress Management. With 2000 years of wisdom applied with Traditional Chinese Medicine, treatments are natural, safe, effective, and self-sustaining.  Given the efficacy of treatments many patients have success with Dr. Barrett even after they have tried everything else.

Patient Testimonials Treating Migraine Headaches

Chantalle L.:  “Dr. Barrett is truly the best acupuncturist out there. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, caring, and attentive. After just one treatment, I experienced tremendous migraine relief. Dr. Barrett genuinely cares about his patients and is passionate about what he does. I would highly recommend him to all my family and friends.”

Gale L.: “I have had mixed experiences with other Acupuncturists and was pretty skeptical to give it a try again. But getting acupuncture from Dr. Barrett was better than I could have ever imagined.

The amount of relief that I experienced from my muscle pain was a hundred times greater than previous acupuncture treatments. The pain that felt debilitating when I came in was completely gone by the time I left. I felt like a new person – not just relieved but refreshed and energized, with a sense of peace and wellness.

Just the acupuncture would have been enough to keep me coming back, but Dr. Barrett is more than just an acupuncturist, he’s a specialist in Eastern Medicine. The herbal supplements he recommended were exactly what I needed to continue to feel relief and energy between treatments. The dietary changes he suggested also made a big difference too.

I really appreciated the time he took to explain to me why and how the treatments worked when I asked. He could translate the theory behind it so that I could understand it. It was so reassuring and comforting to really get what was happening during the treatment.

But what made all the difference in the world is this: Dr. Barrett really listens and has incredible compassion. Because needles bother me *so* much, for years I didn’t think I could even try acupuncture. When I did try acupuncture, I found I could tolerate the needles, but I was never comfortable with them before going to Dr. Barrett. His compassion and understanding have allowed me to actually feel comfortable with the needles. That seemed completely impossible before Dr. Barrett!  But, he is simply the best.”

Google User:  “Dr.Barrett is the kindest most patient man. I have migraines that render me useless at least three times a month, or I used to. I have been seeing Dr. Barrett for only a few months and already I have noticed a dramatic change. I have only had a total of two migraines in the last two months and they were not nearly as painful as they usually are. I am so thankful to have found Dr.Barrett, my quality of daily life has improved so much I feel like a new person!”

 

Wilma J.: “I decided to get treated by Dr. Barrett for severe headaches and ringing in my ears. Upon diagnosis, he noted that my blood pressure was 190/ 90. Immediately, Dr. Barrett recommended that I see a doctor for western treatment. He then proceeded to treat me with acupuncture and herbs. During that first week my headaches stopped, and the ringing in my ears was minimal. I also followed up with Dr. Barrett’s recommendation to see a doctor and was given pharmaceuticals to control my blood pressure. Upon my next visit to Dr. Barrett, my blood pressure was down to 160/85. Although still high, Dr. Barrett was not so alarmed and suggested we continue to treat with Eastern Medicine in addition to Western Medicine. Dr. Barrett researched all the herbs and medications I was using to make sure they were compatible. Since the pharmaceuticals were causing me extreme side effects and fatigue, Dr. Barrett’s goal was to further reduce my blood pressure with Eastern Medicine, and while working with my MD, reduce my need for the pharmaceuticals. Dr. Barrett also recommended dietary changes and that I buy a blood pressure device to measure my blood pressure throughout the day. After three months, I no longer needed the western medication. After six months, I no longer need the Eastern Medicine herbal formula. This means a lot to me, as most people end up relying on medication to control blood pressure for the rest of their lives. Given the side effects, I do not know how I would have coped, as my quality of life and ability to perform my job would have deteriorated.”
