Acupuncture for Headaches and Migraines in Augusta

Individual assessment • Clear expectations • Care alongside your medical treatment

When headaches keep interrupting your day

Start by understanding the pattern

Headaches have different causes. Dr. Eric Sherrell, DACM, L.Ac., reviews your history, any diagnosis, and the symptoms that accompany your headaches before discussing acupuncture.

Dull, aching pain behind the eyes

Tenderness/tightness in the neck and shoulder

Feelings of pressure/tightness across the forehead, behind the eyes, sides and back of head.

What we want to know about your headaches

How often do they happen? How long do they last? Have you noticed a connection with sleep, stress, your routine, or medication use? Bring a headache diary if you have one and a list of your current treatments.

A sudden, unusually severe headache or a headache with new neurological symptoms needs urgent medical assessment, not a routine acupuncture appointment.

Considering acupuncture as part of your care

Research suggests acupuncture may help reduce headache frequency for some people with tension headaches or migraine. Results vary. Keep your clinician involved and do not stop or change prescribed medication on your own.

How the first visit works

We discuss how headaches affect your day and what you have already tried. Allow about an hour for a full health history and exam. Treatment is not included in that first visit.

If acupuncture is appropriate, we explain the proposed course of treatments and how progress will be assessed. Read what to expect at your first visit.

A plan based on your assessment

Your plan depends on your history, symptoms, and goals. Other services are discussed individually; there is no standard package that suits everyone. Any herbal recommendations require a review of medications and suitability.

Patients share their experiences

These accounts reflect individual experiences, not guaranteed results for other patients.

“I had major headaches from a traumatic brain injury from the military. Acupuncture has dramatically dropped it. I’ve gone from almost seven in a week to only four this month; dramatic change. My wife says I’m nicer. My co-workers aren’t getting on my nerves as much and I can concentrate better.”

“Helped me to be able to relax, lowered my blood pressure, decreased headaches, and I feel better overall. It helps my body to be able to stay more relaxed during the day versus the tenseness which was affecting me. My day is better.”

“At first I was very apprehensive about it but now since I’ve been getting treatment for over three plus months. From sitting in a chair being immobile to actually running again.”

“The tinnitus has actually decreased in volume and the tone has improved. The ringing in your ears is lessened so it’s helped.”
