Acupuncture for Headaches & Migraine in Amsterdam
Frequent headaches and migraine can have many drivers — neck and shoulder tension, stress, posture and sleep among them. At Alter Physio & Acupuncture in Amsterdam Zuid we use gentle Japanese acupuncture, often alongside physiotherapy, to address the contributing factors. Available in English, Dutch and Japanese.
A whole-picture approach
Tension-type headaches in particular are closely linked to the neck, shoulders and jaw. We look at the whole picture rather than only the head, and tailor treatment to what we find.
Acupuncture and physiotherapy together
When neck tension is a driver, combining acupuncture with neck-pain physiotherapy can be effective. Explore our Japanese acupuncture and physiotherapy services.
What to expect
Treatment is gentle and individualized. Acupuncture is used as supportive care; new, severe or sudden headaches should always be assessed by a doctor first. We are happy to work alongside your GP.
