Relief for Sinus Pressure, Headaches & Migraines
Address the root cause, calm the nervous system, and restore balance with gentle, evidence-informed care.
Our Approach to Head Pain & Sinus Congestion
Headaches and sinus congestion can be both physically and mentally exhausting. Whether tension-based, hormonal, inflammatory, or neurological, these symptoms often have deeper contributing factors.
At AcuEnhanced, we combine Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern techniques to treat the underlying imbalances that contribute to chronic or recurring head pain.
We look beyond just symptom relief — supporting your nervous system, circulation, posture, and stress response for long-term improvement.

Why Acupuncture Works for These Conditions
From a Chinese medicine perspective, headaches and sinus issues often involve stagnation of Qi and Blood, Liver Yang rising, or wind-cold/damp invasion.
Modern research shows that acupuncture can help modulate the nervous system, reduce muscular tension, and influence neurotransmitter release (like serotonin and endorphins) involved in pain regulation.
Common Questions
Is acupuncture safe for migraines?
Yes — when performed by a qualified practitioner. Many migraine clients report a reduction in frequency or intensity of attacks over time.
Can you work with my physio or GP?
Absolutely. We welcome collaboration and complement other therapies like manual therapy, medication, or ENT care.
How quickly will I feel relief?
That’s perfectly fine — and common! Many clients feel so relaxed they drift off. It’s one of the clearest signs your nervous system is shifting into healing mode.
Will I be needled in the face or head?
Not always. We use distal and scalp points, and often release tension via the neck, shoulders, or legs — but always with your consent and comfort in mind.
