Why AcuBliss for Migraines

At AcuBliss, Dr. Amorette LaFranchi, DACM, treats migraines by addressing their root causes, not just the pain. With nearly 16 years of clinical experience as a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, and third-generation Curandera, Dr. Amorette combines the time-tested methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern therapies to reduce migraine frequency, intensity, and duration.

Whether your migraines are triggered by stress, hormonal changes, certain foods, weather patterns, or an unknown cause, we create a personalized plan that supports your long-term relief and overall well-being.

How Acupuncture Helps with Migraines

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, migraines often stem from imbalances in the Liver, Spleen, and Kidney systems, as well as disrupted Qi and blood flow in the head and neck. Acupuncture for migraines works by:

Improving circulation and reducing inflammation in the head and neck

Relaxing tense muscles that may contribute to migraine pain

Regulating hormonal fluctuations that trigger headaches

Calming the nervous system to prevent and shorten migraine episodes

Many clients also experience secondary benefits such as better sleep, reduced stress, and improved mood, factors that can help break the migraine cycle.

What to Expect at AcuBliss

Studies suggest acupuncture can modulate pain signals, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow to the brain, aligning with TCM’s focus on restoring healthy Qi and circulation to prevent and manage migraines naturally.

Many clients feel immediate relief during or after treatment.

Migraine frequency and severity often improve after several consistent sessions.

Preventive treatments may help reduce the likelihood of future attacks.

Amorette checks ALL of the boxes. Knowledgeable, easy to talk to, asks the right questions, puts you at ease and explains things so clearly! After battling with massive hot flashes for months that would come frequent and strong - Amorette had me regulated within minutes, like a hot flash off switch. No matter what ails you, I’m confident Amorette will help to not only regulate and heal, but you’ll leave each session with a better understanding of your own magical body 10/10 recommend ❤️

I have been seeing Dr. Amorette LaFranchi for many years and couldn’t be more grateful for her care. She has effectively treated my rheumatoid arthritis and provided incredible support throughout both of my pregnancies, from start to finish. Most recently, I have been visiting her for chronic pain management following an ankle sprain and fracture, and her treatments have made a real difference.

Her office is welcoming and incredibly calming, creating a perfect environment for healing. Dr. LaFranchi is a fantastic listener who genuinely cares and has a true passion for her work. I happily travel all the way from Broomfield to see her because of the quality of care she provides. The location is convenient, easy to access, and always has free parking available. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate and effective acupuncture care.
