National Headache Awareness Week June 5-11

You’ve probably had headaches of some sort. Maybe you popped a Tylenol or Aspirin and forget about it. But some headaches need professional evaluation.

June 5-11 marks National Headache Awareness Week. Headaches obviously are complex, with a wide range of causes from sinus problems, to eyestrain, stress, lack of sleep or even drinking too much caffeine.

The goals of National Headache Awareness Week are:
• to attract recognition that headache pain is a real and legitimate condition
• to encourage sufferers to see a licensed health professional for proper diagnosis and treatment
• to let headache sufferers know that there are treatments for their condition that works.

Taking a pain reliever for a headache, while sometimes temporarily effective in relieving the symptoms of the headache, just suppresses the symptoms and doesn’t address the root cause one bit. This health problem will continue to manifest as a headache or other physical symptoms.

Imagine finally being rid of your headaches or migraines…without drugs, without days in bed, without trips to the ER and without worry of when the next one might strike. Imagine finally being free from your headaches or migraines and enjoying life the way it’s meant to be.

Headaches are not normal. This is a sign that something is wrong. Your body was designed to be pain free. Even an occasional headache is a sign of something not functioning right.

At our Minneapolis clinic we help people enjoy life without the excruciating pain of headaches naturally. If you have not been to our clinic before, stop by and we will give you a free packet of information on how to prevent headaches. Or set up an appointment to be pain free. Just call 952-831-8080. You’ll be glad you did.

If you are a man or woman seeking headache or migraine relief living in the greater Minneapolis/St. Paul, Twin Cities area be sure to sign up for our free e-book: Acupuncture for Cynics: A Guide To Chinese Medicine.

I can’t say enough good about Dr Steven. I had terrible vertigo that I was battling for months. I had tried everything. Regular doctors, chiropractic, physical therapy. Nothing worked. It was so frustrating. A friend referred me to Dr Steven and within a few sessions my symptoms started to improve! I kept going and sure enough he was able to help me get rid of that terrible vertigo. I have decided to keep visiting him as the overall wellness I feel is so much better. I can’t recommend him enough.

I came in because I had mono, doctors and nurses at urgent weren’t doing anything but right from the first treatment I felt amazing relief. I have a lot more energy then before and the other symptoms went away very quickly. I would recommend this place for anyone.

I came to Complete Oriental Medical Care to get help with a pinched nerve in my shoulder. I had severe pain in my shoulder and numbness in my hand. I sought help from my clinic and the clinic doctor provided steroids and muscle relaxants. These medications provided some relief but left me groggy and unable to work effectively. The pain also made it difficult to get restful sleep. I was a ball of pain and feeling like a zombie. I decided to seek acupuncture to get relief without the hard medicine. The acupuncture provided by Steven has been incredible. With the first treatment I felt relief. Within a few weeks my pain substantially subsided and I felt human again. With the addition of the Chinese herbs I also aches a restful and regular nightly slumber without the sluggish feeling. Steven is absolutely an expert acupuncturist. He designs a care plan specifically to the needs of each patient. I couldn’t be happier with my results.

Dr Sonmore and Naijin have been incredibly helpful in facilitating my healing journey. I have been struggling with ice pick headaches, nausea, and BFS (Benign Fasiculation Syndrome). Western medicine has not proven to be particularly helpful. Dr Sonmore was the first Dr to actually give me a diagnosis and create a plan for healing. Naijin is always friendly, supportive and flexible with getting me in to see Dr Sonmore. I highly recommend this practice!! Many thanks and deepest gratitude to both Dr Sonmore and Naijin!
