Acupuncture for Headaches Brisbane!
Acupuncture for Headache treatment has been shown through numerous studies and independent reviews to have a positive affect on reducing frequency of headaches, severity of headaches and reduce the use of standard medications. In fact, research published in the March 15 issue of the British Medical Journal states that when compared to a control group using conventional care, after a year of treatment the researchers found the group using acupuncture care reported:
- Experienced 22 fewer days with headaches
- Used 15% less medication
- Made 25% fewer visits to their doctor
- Took 15% fewer days off sick from work than the control group
This research was supported by reviews by independent Cochrane Library (clinician database) confirming acupuncture as an effective alternative and complementary method for tension headache treatment and migraine treatment. The statistics found acupuncture to be significant and a clinically relevant treatment for reducing the number of headache days and severity. A Cochrane review by Linde and his colleagues (www.cochrane.org), found that forty-seven percent of patients who received acupuncture reported a decrease in the number of headache days by at least half, compared with 16 percent of patients in the control groups. This also resulted in fewer visits to doctor and fewer sick days off work. Overall, research found that acupuncture seemed to be a cost-effective treatment for headaches and migraines, and it also provided additional benefits to mainstream drug therapy.
