Headaches and migraines are common ailments affecting millions of people worldwide. If you’re one of those who suffer from these debilitating conditions, you know just how disruptive they can be to your daily life. While conventional treatments such as over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs, and lifestyle modifications may provide some relief, they may not work for everyone. If you’re seeking an alternative, holistic approach to managing your headaches and migraines, acupuncture might be the answer you’ve been looking for. At Remedy Wellness, we offer acupuncture as part of our comprehensive suite of services, such as massage therapy, physiotherapy, chiropractic, counselling, and naturopathic medicine.
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points of the body. This time-tested technique has been employed for thousands of years to relieve various ailments, including headaches and migraines. By stimulating specific points, acupuncture targets the body’s energy channels, or meridians, to regulate the flow of vital energy, or qi. The balanced flow of qi is essential for maintaining overall health, and acupuncture seeks to restore harmony in the body, thereby relieving pain and discomfort.
In addition to alleviating headache and migraine pain, acupuncture offers a range of other benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation, and enhancing overall well-being. As part of our holistic and integrative approach to health and wellness at Remedy Wellness, acupuncture complements our other services, ensuring that our clients receive the most comprehensive and personalized care possible.

Acupuncture for Headache and Migraine Relief: Unlock the Healing Power at Remedy Wellness
Headaches and migraines can have a tremendous impact on daily life, causing lost productivity, missed social engagements, and difficulty concentrating on even the most mundane tasks. While various treatments are available for these conditions, not all individuals find relief through conventional methods. Acupuncture has emerged as a viable alternative, providing holistic, natural, and non-invasive relief for many sufferers. In this article, we’ll delve into the science behind acupuncture, discuss its numerous benefits, and explain how it can help manage headaches and migraines.
The Science Behind Acupuncture for Headaches and Migraines
Acupuncture is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, which posits that the balanced flow of vital energy, or qi, is essential for maintaining overall health. By inserting fine needles into specific points on the body, acupuncture practitioners stimulate the body’s energy channels, or meridians, to regulate and restore the flow of qi.
Research has shown that acupuncture can be an effective treatment for headaches and migraines, particularly tension-type headaches and chronic migraines. Studies indicate that acupuncture works by stimulating the production of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, and regulating the levels of neurotransmitters involved in pain perception, such as serotonin and dopamine. Furthermore, acupuncture has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, which might help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines.
Reducing Stress and Anxiety with Acupuncture
Stress and anxiety are common triggers for headaches and migraines. Acupuncture has been shown to help reduce stress and anxiety levels, thereby potentially lowering the frequency of headaches and migraines.
Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins and natural mood regulators such as serotonin and dopamine. These chemicals are responsible for promoting relaxation and reducing stress, leading to an overall sense of well-being. By reducing stress and anxiety, acupuncture can play a significant role in headache and migraine management for those who experience these conditions as a result of heightened tension and emotional stress.
Promoting Relaxation and Overall Well-Being
In addition to targeting headache and migraine relief, acupuncture offers numerous benefits that promote overall well-being. By stimulating the release of endorphins, acupuncture promotes relaxation and creates a sense of calm. Individuals undergoing acupuncture often report feelings of serenity following their sessions, as well as a heightened sense of well-being.
Moreover, acupuncture can positively impact sleep quality, another factor that could contribute to headaches and migraines. Improved sleep leads to better physical and mental health, further promoting overall wellness. By incorporating acupuncture into your wellness routine, you can experience a life marked by increased relaxation, balance, and overall well-being.
How Acupuncture at Remedy Wellness Complements Other Treatments
At Remedy Wellness, we believe in an integrative approach to health and well-being. By combining acupuncture with other complementary treatments, such as massage therapy, physiotherapy, chiropractic, counselling, and naturopathic medicine, we are better able to address the root causes of headaches and migraines and create personalized treatment plans for our clients.
This holistic approach to health care enables our practitioners to work collaboratively, sharing insights and creating a comprehensive plan for each individual’s unique needs.

Neo-Ericksonian Hypnotherapy: A Gentle Approach to Change with Dave Hyldig
Ericksonian hypnotherapy, named after the renowned therapist Milton H. Erickson, is a form of hypnotherapy that emphasizes indirect suggestion, flexible communication, and the power of the client's own unconscious mind to facilitate change. It's a gentle and collaborative approach, focusing on the client's unique strengths and resources.
Here's what makes it stand out:
Indirect Suggestion: Instead of direct commands, Ericksonians use metaphors, stories, and indirect language to gently guide the client's unconscious mind towards desired changes.
Flexibility and Adaptation: The therapist tailors their approach to each individual, respecting their unique experiences and perspectives. Ericksonians believe in "meeting the client where they are" and allowing the unconscious mind to lead the way.
Harnessing the Unconscious: Ericksonians believe the unconscious mind holds immense potential for healing and growth. They help clients access this power through skillful communication and hypnotic techniques.
Focus on Resources: Rather than dwelling on problems, Ericksonian hypnotherapy focuses on the client's strengths and resources, helping them build on their existing skills to achieve positive change.
Client-Centered Approach: The therapist acts as a guide and facilitator, empowering the client to take an active role in their own healing journey.
Common Applications:
Anxiety and Stress Reduction
Pain Management
Addiction Treatment
Phobia Reduction
Self-Esteem and Confidence Building
Improving Sleep
Performance Enhancement
Key Principles of Ericksonian Hypnotherapy:
Utilize the client's own language: The therapist mirrors the client's words and expressions to build rapport and trust.
Use metaphors and stories: Ericksonians believe metaphors and stories can tap into the unconscious mind more effectively than direct suggestions.
Embrace ambiguity and paradoxes: Sometimes, posing a paradox or leaving a question unanswered can trigger the unconscious mind to seek a resolution.
Encourage client participation: Active participation is key to success. Clients are encouraged to share their experiences and contribute to the process.
Focus on the client's strengths: Ericksonians believe in building upon the client's existing resources rather than solely focusing on their challenges.
If you're seeking a gentle, flexible, and client-centered approach to personal growth, Ericksonian hypnotherapy could be a valuable option to explore.

DR. KEN ALEXANDER, CHIROPRACTOR
Ken’s personal journey recovering from a broken back in 2012:
In the summer of 2012, a friend and I were hiking. My footing was lost going around a rock face and I fell off the side of the cliff. I was airlifted to the hospital and from there it was discovered that I had fractured 3 bones in my back and 4 ribs. I also suffered a collapsed lung, 2 broken teeth as well as multiple scratches and bruises. Following the injury, recovery was one of the hardest physical/mental obstacle that I had to overcome. I remember when I went back to the hospital for my second chest X-ray, the doctor that was overseeing my case took my wife aside and said: “Make sure he does everything for himself, don’t so much as make him a sandwich”. I was astonished. Here I was barely able to move, without being in extreme pain, and I was told that I had to keep pushing. That was tough to hear but so important.
Movement is what the body craves in order to be able to function at it’s best. If we allow ourselves to remain motionless we limit ourselves and allow the pain to dictate what we can, and cannot do. To help with the pain I went to see the chiropractor. Although the adjustments that a chiropractor does are valuable, it’s not the only thing that they can do. The chiropractor was able to help with some relief of the back pain that I was experiencing but also gave a list of exercises that I was to do that would help with pain and to start strengthening the weak areas. The exercises were time-consuming, frustrating and at the time seemed pointless. However, they were invaluable. Slowly I started to see the progression in my condition. I started moving easier and I noticed I could do more in my daily life.
One of the biggest reasons I am a chiropractor is because of this incident. I know what it is like to be injured and the journey it is to get through. I know the feeling of being frustrated with the pain to the point of tears. Though my experience seemed terrible at the time, I wouldn’t give it up for anything. I learned so much during this period of my life about pain, movement, exercise and a positive outlook. If you’re dealing with pain, whether it be a new injury or it has been lingering for a while and you’re ready to make a change, lets talk. -Dr. Ken Alexander

I. Principles of Chiropractic Care: Addressing the Root Causes of Pain
To better understand the impact of chiropractic care on pain relief and mobility, let’s examine the key principles that underpin this healthcare discipline:
The Nervous System and Spinal Health:
Chiropractic care recognizes the central role the spine plays in overall wellness, acting as the structural support for the body and housing the spinal cord, an essential component of the nervous system. Chiropractors believe that proper spinal alignment is critical to maintaining optimal nervous system function and general health.
Spinal Subluxations and Health Issues:
Chiropractors focus on identifying and addressing spinal subluxations or misalignments of the vertebrae, which can cause discomfort, pain, and dysfunction throughout the body. By targeting these subluxations, chiropractic care aims to alleviate not only the localized symptoms but also the underlying causes of pain and discomfort.
Hands-On Techniques and Adjustments:
Chiropractic treatments often center around hands-on techniques and adjustments focused on correcting spinal misalignments and restoring mobility to joints and muscles. By employing these targeted approaches, chiropractors can address the root causes of pain and mobility issues, promoting overall well-being.
II. The Benefits of Chiropractic Care: Pain Relief, Mobility Enhancement, and More
Chiropractic care offers a range of benefits for individuals seeking pain relief and improved mobility, as well as those looking to maintain overall wellness. Some key advantages of chiropractic care include:
Pain Relief: Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate both acute and chronic pain stemming from various conditions, including back and neck pain, headaches, joint pain, and even sciatica.
Improved Mobility: Chiropractic treatments are designed to restore normal joint function, enhancing mobility and promoting a more extensive range of motion.
Decreased Inflammation: By correcting spinal misalignments and promoting proper joint function, chiropractic care can help reduce inflammation throughout the body, a common contributing factor to pain and discomfort.
Injury Prevention: Regular chiropractic care can help identify and address muscular imbalances and joint dysfunction, preventing potential injuries and maintaining overall musculoskeletal health.
III. The Chiropractic Treatment Process at Remedy Wellness: Personalized Care to Meet Your Unique Needs
At Remedy Wellness, our skilled chiropractors take a personalized approach to care, designing treatment plans that cater to your specific needs and goals. Here’s what you can expect during your chiropractic sessions:

This information is essential for formulating a targeted treatment plan designed to address your unique needs effectively.
Chiropractic Treatment: Your chiropractor will employ hands-on techniques and adjustments during your treatment sessions to address spinal subluxations, alleviate pain, and promote proper joint function. Treatment plans are customized to meet your individual needs, ensuring the most effective approach for your specific situation.
Ongoing Support and Maintenance: As your journey with chiropractic care continues, your chiropractor will work closely with you to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Acupuncture, an ancient healing practice with roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has evolved to become an increasingly popular modality in modern integrative healthcare. Blending traditional wisdom with contemporary methodologies, acupuncture offers an effective and non-invasive approach to address a broad range of health concerns, promoting balance, healing, and overall well-being.
At Remedy Wellness Centre, our acupuncturists provide skilled, compassionate care, combining ancient techniques with current evidence-based practices to assist clients on their path to optimal wellness. In this article, we will journey through the world of acupuncture, exploring its rich history, fundamental principles, and numerous therapeutic benefits, ultimately illustrating the incredible potential of this ancient art to enhance well-being in the modern age.
Acupuncture is rooted in the belief that a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being depends on the balanced flow of life energy, or Qi, throughout the body. Blockages or imbalances in this flow can lead to a variety of health concerns and discomforts. By applying fine needles to specific points on the body known as acupuncture points, skilled practitioners can unblock and regulate the flow of Qi, restoring harmony and promoting overall health and well-being.
At Remedy Wellness Centre, our acupuncturists recognize the importance of providing high-quality care tailored to individual needs. Our team works closely with other healthcare professionals, including massage therapists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, counsellors, and naturopathic doctors, to ensure a comprehensive, integrative approach to each client’s unique wellness journey.
The ancient practice of acupuncture offers a unique approach to healing and wellness, integrating time-honoured techniques with contemporary research to promote balance, healing, and overall well-being. In this article, we delve deeper into the fascinating world of acupuncture, highlighting its principles, therapeutic applications, and myriad benefits for modern-day health.
I. A Glimpse into the History of Acupuncture
Acupuncture has a rich history, originating in China more than 2,500 years ago as a key practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Here, we take a brief look at the historical background of acupuncture:
Ancient Origins: The earliest records of acupuncture date back to the Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon), an influential medical text from around 200 BCE.
Evolving Through Time: Acupuncture has evolved throughout history, with significant developments taking place during various Chinese dynasties, such as the Han, Tang, Song, and Ming eras.
Journey to the West: The practice of acupuncture first travelled beyond China in the 6th century CE, reaching Japan, Korea, and eventually Europe in the 17th century.
Modern Acupuncture: In the late 20th century, acupuncture gained widespread acceptance in Western healthcare, now practised in numerous countries as a respected complementary therapy.
II. The Principles of Acupuncture: Balancing the Flow of Qi
The fundamental concept underlying acupuncture is Qi (pronounced “chee”), the vital life energy that flows through a network of channels called meridians within the body. Acupuncture seeks to balance the flow of Qi by stimulating specific points on the meridians, offering the following benefits:
Unblock Stagnant Qi: Blocked or stagnant Qi leads to pain and various health concerns. Acupuncture aims to clear these blockages, restoring the smooth flow of energy.
Harmonize Imbalances: Acupuncture addresses imbalances in the Yin and Yang life forces, bringing the body back into harmony and promoting overall well-being.
Influence Organ Function: By targeting specific acupuncture points, practitioners can influence the functioning of the body’s organs and systems, addressing various health concerns.
Strengthen the Body’s Defenses: Acupuncture has been shown to bolster the immune system by stimulating the production of immune cells and encouraging proper immune function.
