Top Denver Acupuncturist for Headaches - Dr. Mark Carney - Denver, CO 80224
Your Healing Place - http://www.yourhealingplace.com - 303.636.0000 Healing With Acupuncture with Dr. Mark Carney: Acupuncture & Headaches Hi, I'm Dr. Mark Carney. I'm a naturopathic doctor and an acupuncturist with a family practice in Denver, Colorado called Your Healing Place. People often ask, "What is acupuncture?" Acupuncture is one part of Chinese medicine. Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. Acupuncture is based on the concept of Qi and Qi means energy. The Qi is flowing through our body in rivers that are called meridians in Chinese medicine. Basically, what acupuncture is doing is inserting needles at different points of these meridians to flip open and closed valves to regulate the flow of the energy of the Qi. The acupuncture needles are so tiny that they are bendable. They are almost the thickness of a human hair. So that's acupuncture. Let's talk about headaches. In Western medicine, there are dozens and dozens of possible causes for headaches. Some of the contributing factors to these imbalances include dehydration, hormone imbalances, a toxicity reaction or a detox reaction, a food or environmental allergen, the muscles in the back of the neck that go into a spasm, certainly stress plays a huge role when it comes to headaches, and the blood vessels inside the head can dilate and contract, and that also is a cause. When we use acupuncture and Chinese medicine to address headaches, it's extremely important that we know the precise location of where that person is experiencing their headache. It's also important to know the timing of when they are experiencing their headache. For example, if it's a menstruating woman, is she experiencing it right before the onset of her menses, during the onset of her menses, after the onset of her menses, or is it random? In my experience, acupuncture is truly phenomenal in helping people reduce their headaches or get rid of them.
