Marjan was 32 years old at the time. She worked as an accountant at a medium-sized firm. She always enjoyed her work and it did not seem to cost her much effort. She was also popular, both privately and at work.
Over the years, Marjan suffered from migraines more and more often. The GP explained the headaches as a result of stress at work. Even though she liked the work and the working atmosphere was good, Marjan still experienced an enormous workload.
Life in calmer waters: migraines remained
Marjan was very pleased that she had met a nice partner. Pieter was a colleague from a city 30 kilometers away. They had a great time together. But there was one thing that threw a spanner in the works. Those were the persistent migraine attacks. Together with her doctor, she and her doctor had thought that they would disappear when her life would enter calmer waters after finding a nice partner. But unfortunately, the migraine attacks did not disappear.
Her doctor recommended medical acupuncture
Marjan’s GP read in a medical journal about scientific studies into the effectiveness of acupuncture for acute and chronic pain: that medical acupuncture can often help with pain complaints, including headaches and migraines. He advised Marjan to be treated by me.
The first treatments already helped
After the first treatments with medical acupuncture, Marjan’s migraines became less severe. The attacks also occurred less often. I then treated her twice a week. We soon switched to one treatment per week. Within three months she felt much less tense and was migraine-free.
Things continue to go well for Marjan
All this was years ago. Marjan comes once or twice a year for a few ‘maintenance treatments’. She does this when she is bothered by work pressure or other tensions again.
Fortunately, what happened to Marjan is no exception. The good thing is that medical acupuncture has no side effects and usually has an effect for a longer period of time.
