Alongside back pain, headaches are one of the most common health problems, affecting around 8% of the Swiss population.
The two primary forms of headache, migraine and tension headaches, which can also occur in combination, accounting for over 90% of headaches.
Secondary headaches, i.e. headaches that occur as a side effect of another illness, are much rarer. However, they must be carefully observed and their causes must be determined, e.g. misaligned teeth with jaw tension.
In TCM, headaches are assessed according to different criteria. At the first appointment, a detailed consultation is carried out to clarify the cause of the headache according to TCM. It has been shown that out of 5 patients with migraine, each one may display a different etiology and disharmony pattern, therefore receives a different treatment plan for the migraine.
The localization of the pain, the quality as well as intensity of the pain, emotional state, external influences such as wind, damp, dryness, heat or cold and internal organ disharmonies are taken into account. Based on your individual disharmony patterns, the practitioner will then begin a therapy tailored to your condition, using acupuncture, Tui Na massage, Herbal Medicine, Cupping, Moxa, Laser Acupuncture or a combination of methods.
Depending on the intensity and interval of the pain, treatment may be performed 1 to 2 times a week, for ca. 9 to 12 treatments. Chronic conditions may require a further treatment cycle, which is usually carried out with longer intervals between sessions.
