The Journal of Inflammation Research published a study investigating how acupuncture treats chronic migraines by influencing the gut-brain connection. Researchers observed that acupuncture effectively reduced migraine pain and inflammation while positively balancing gut bacteria.

TCM views the body with a whole-body approach. When treating migraines, we are also working with other systems in the body because they are continuously connected.

Some of the main channels associated with migraines, and the gut-brain connection, are the Gallbladder and Liver channels. In this study, acupuncture points, Gallbladder 8 and Gallbladder 34 were used.

If you are struggling with migraines, acupuncture and TCM can be a supportive treatment option to help alleviate your pain!

One body. Many connected systems.

Did you know your sinuses aren't designed to drain on their own? 🤧
Your sinuses rely on tiny hair-like structures called Cilia to move mucus out of the sinus cavities and into your nose. When allergies, inflammation, or a lingering cold cause the tissues to swell, those drainage pathways can become blocked. The result? Pressure, congestion, headaches, facial discomfort, post-nasal drip, and even that frustrating "brain fog."

Manual osteopathic treatment uses gentle, hands-on techniques to improve mobility and reduce restrictions throughout the head, face, neck, and surrounding tissues. By supporting the body's natural drainage mechanisms, it may help relieve sinus congestion and pressure while promoting easier breathing.

✨ Suitable for both adults and children, making it a gentle option for families dealing with recurrent sinus congestion, or lingering cold symptoms.

If you have more questions, or struggle with recurrent sinus congestion, book an appointment with us! Your diet may also be influencing your symptoms more than you think.

We look forward to supporting you on your journey toward optimal health.

This was a great conversation with Cindy Witteman, here is published article about some of the topics we chatted about. A big part of our work at Unplug Hour is bridging care; understanding how interconnected the body truly is, supporting the whole person and recognizing when collaboration or referral is essential for better patient outcomes.

Did you know…
Acupuncture stimulates circulation, neuromodulation, and cellular repair pathways beneath the surface of the skin.

Modern research shows that needling specific acupuncture points can influence ATP production (our cells’ energy fuel), boost mitochondrial function, and support local tissue regeneration through increased growth factors, nitric oxide signaling, and collagen synthesis, just to name a few.

“Cellular repair” and “mitochondrial health” may be trending buzzwords today, but acupuncture has been influencing these processes for centuries.

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, acupuncture improves Qi flow, reduces stagnation, and restores organ-system harmony.

Acupuncture is not simply about symptom relief. It helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, shifting the body out of sympathetic fight-or-flight and into parasympathetic recovery; the physiological state where true healing occurs!

Modern research continues to validate what TCM clinicians have long observed, when circulation and cellular communication improve, the body repairs, regenerates, and returns to balance.
