Acupuncture for migraines?

My neurologist asked me to consider acupuncture for my migraine headaches since I have not found sufficient relief with medication. Has anyone had experience with acupuncture for the treatment of headaches? Did it help? Did your insurance pay for it?

Other than acupuncture, my chinese physician gave me some herbal medicines and syrups to take before the acupuncture treatment starts. I haven't got to the acpuncture part yet but the meds worked well so far. Had to pay for it myself as traditional chinese medicine is not considered as an orthodox medical practice over here

Btw, he told me to avoid certain foods like coffee, chocolates etc

My friend did and it helped reduce the severity of her attacks. She paid for it herself (UK so different sytem to US);
No, Reiki is much more effective than acupuncture Reiki works on all levels of your body: physically, mentally, emotionally and beyond....
I have done distant healings for people with all kinds of health problems from mild to extreme. And most people have noticed results.
I can send Reiki to you for free. I just need your permission. Reiki works for migraines too.
