Find Lasting Relief from Head Pain

Headaches and migraines can be more than just an inconvenience, they can affect your mood, focus, sleep, and overall quality of life. As a chronic migraine sufferer in my 30’s, acupuncture showed me the way fewer cluster experiences and overall improvement to the point where I rarely get them anymore. At LK Mind Body Wellness, I take a holistic approach to uncover the root causes of your pain and help you find long-term relief.

Common Causes of Headaches

Headaches can arise from a variety of sources, including:

  • Muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and jaw

  • Stress & nervous system imbalance

  • Hormonal shifts (PMS, perimenopause, menopause)

  • Digestive or food sensitivities

  • Posture & screen fatigue

  • Circulatory or sinus congestion

Understanding what’s triggering your headaches is key to creating an effective plan.

My Integrative Approach

I combine traditional East Asian medicine with modern wellness tools to soothe pain, reduce frequency, and calm the nervous system.

Therapies may include:

  • Acupuncture – Releases tension, improves circulation, and balances the body’s meridian pathways.

  • Electro-acupuncture – Gently enhances acupuncture’s pain relieving effects.

  • Cupping & Gua Sha – Relieve tight muscles and increase blood flow to the neck and shoulders.

  • Red & Infrared Light Therapy – Helps reduce inflammation and supports cellular and tissue repair.

  • Aromatherapy or Herbal Topicals – anti-inflammatory soothing formulas for immediate relief.

  • Lifestyle & Nutrition Support – Guidance to address triggers like hydration, posture, and hormonal balance.

  • Yin Yoga & Breathwork – Calm the mind, release stored tension, and support healthy circulation.

What to Expect in a Session

During your first visit, we’ll discuss your headache history, lifestyle, and potential triggers. After a thorough assessment, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan to address both immediate discomfort and long-term prevention.

Many clients notice improvement after just a few sessions, with deeper, lasting results as treatments build over time.

  • Fewer headache days per month

  • Better focus and productivity

  • Improved mood and resilience

Evidence-Based Results

Acupuncture isn’t just an ancient practice, it’s backed by a growing body of modern research.

Studies have shown that acupuncture can significantly reduce headache frequency and intensity, and may even work as well as or better than standard drug therapy for some people.

Research also supports acupuncture for tension-type headaches, showing improvements in both pain levels and number of headache days.

By combining these evidence-based techniques with lifestyle guidance, my aim is to help you experience fewer headaches and more clear, focused days.
