The clinical research on acupuncture for migraine prevention is strong. A 2016 Cochrane systematic review of 22 trials found acupuncture at least as effective as prophylactic medication — with significantly fewer side effects. A 2020 study in the British Medical Journal found patients receiving acupuncture reduced migraine days by an average of 3.2 per month at 20-week follow-up.
At Spectrum WellCare, acupuncture in MetroWest Orlando is combined with the Harmonize herbal system for patients with frequent migraines — personalized herbal formulas that continue working between sessions, addressing the root pattern driving your headaches.

Acupuncture is commonly used as part of a migraine-management plan. Treatment is individualized around headache frequency, triggers, neck tension, sleep, stress, and the Chinese medicine pattern identified during consultation.
Frequency depends on how often migraines occur and how you respond. Many treatment plans begin with consistent visits and adjust over time. Read more about how often acupuncture is used for migraines.
