頭痛不是病，痛起來要人命？
中醫助你尋根治本
長期受頭痛、偏頭痛困擾？上醫堂中醫為您辨證論治，透過針灸、正骨、中藥調理，從根源解決肝陽上亢、氣血虧虛等問題。
頭痛、偏頭痛是都市人最常見的困擾之一。當頭痛發作，影響工作、干擾思緒，許多人第一時間就是食止痛藥，但這往往只是治標不治本。
中醫認為，頭痛是一個訊號，反映身體內部出現了失衡。想徹底擺脫頭痛，關鍵在於找出根源，「辨證論治」。
你的頭痛，屬於哪一種？
從中醫角度，我們會根據頭痛的性質、部位、時間來分辨其屬性。
中醫看頭痛：三大核心病機
「不通則痛，不榮則痛」是理解所有痛症的總綱。對於慢性頭痛，主要有以下幾種類型：
肝陽上亢
長期精神緊張、壓力大、易怒，導致肝氣鬱結，氣鬱化火，化為「肝火」或「肝陽」上衝頭部。
氣血虧虛
過度勞累、大病久病、或脾胃虛弱，導致氣血生化不足，腦絡失於濡養。
痰濕中阻
常因飲食不節，愛吃生冷、肥膩、甜食，損傷脾胃運化，導致「痰濕」內生，蒙蔽清陽。
上醫堂如何治療頭痛？
我們的治療方案是「急則治其標，緩則治其本」，由註冊中醫師與專業推拿師團隊協作，先解決當下痛楚，再調理內在根源。
針灸治療
由註冊中醫師主理，是治療頭痛的利器。通過針刺特定穴位，能迅速疏通經絡、平肝潛陽、補益氣血，有效緩解各種類型頭痛。針對偏頭痛，定期針灸有助於降低發作頻率及嚴重程度。
痛症推拿：深層放鬆肩頸肌肉
對於緊張性頭痛和頸源性頭痛，此為舒緩關鍵。我們的專業推拿師會運用針對性手法，重點處理因長期低頭或壓力而繃緊的肩頸、上背肌群（如斜方肌）。目的是深層放鬆肌肉筋膜，解除因肌肉緊張而引致的頭部放射性疼痛。
中醫正骨復位：從結構根源處理
當中醫師診斷頭痛源於頸椎時，正骨復位便是治本的重要一環。此項治療必須由註冊中醫師親自主理。醫師會以輕柔、精準的手法，調整頸椎小關節的細微錯位，恢復關節的正常活動及力線，從結構上解除對神經或血管的壓迫，根治痛源。
內服中藥
治本的關鍵。中醫師會為您處方個人化中藥，如平肝潛陽的天麻鈎藤飲（針對壓力型）、補益氣血的八珍湯（針對虛弱型）、化痰祛濕的半夏白朮天麻湯（針對頭重昏蒙型）等，從內在調理，預防復發。
日常護理：預防頭痛發作
穴位按摩自救
感到頭痛初起時，可用指腹按揉以下穴位，每穴 1–2 分鐘：
- 避風寒，護頸椎：切忌讓冷氣、風扇直吹頭頸部，保持肩頸溫暖。
- 注意飲食：偏頭痛患者應留意咖啡、芝士、朱古力等是否為誘因。痰濕重者應少吃生冷肥膩。
- 睡好子時覺：晚上11時前入睡，有助肝血收藏，穩定肝陽，是預防頭痛的重要一環。

Reclaim Your Clarity:
A TCM Guide to Headaches & Migraines
Tired of painkillers? Discover how TCM, acupuncture, and herbal medicine address the root cause of your pain for lasting relief.
If you find yourself constantly reaching for painkillers to get through the day, you know how debilitating chronic headaches and migraines can be. They cloud your focus, drain your energy, and steal your productivity.
While conventional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) seeks to understand and correct the underlying imbalances causing the pain in the first place.
What is a Headache? What is a Migraine?
Not all head pain is the same.
Who is at Risk?
The TCM View: Why You Get Headaches
In TCM, the head is where all Yang meridians converge. For pain to occur, there must be a disruption. The core principles are "obstruction causes pain" or "malnourishment causes pain". We identify several common patterns:
Liver Yang Rising
Chronic stress, frustration or anger causes Liver Qi to stagnate and "overheat," sending a rush of energy upward to the head.
Qi & Blood Deficiency
From overwork, poor diet or chronic illness, there isn't enough Qi and Blood to properly nourish the head and brain.
Phlegm-Damp Obstruction
Often from greasy, sweet or processed food, pathological fluids build up and obstruct the clear flow of energy to the head.
How SYT Wellness Treats Headaches & Migraines
Our approach is to "douse the fire" (manage acute pain) while also "nourishing the root" (correcting the underlying imbalance), through a coordinated effort by our team of registered TCM practitioners and skilled Tui Na therapists.
Advanced Acupuncture
Performed by our registered TCM practitioners, acupuncture is highly effective for all types of headaches. It regulates the flow of Qi, calms the Liver, nourishes Blood, and triggers the release of endorphins for natural pain relief. For migraines, specific protocols can help reduce the frequency and severity of attacks over time.
Tui Na Medical Massage for Muscular Release
Especially critical for tension and cervicogenic headaches. Our skilled Tui Na therapists apply targeted techniques to the neck, shoulders and upper back, releasing deep-seated tension in muscles like the trapezius and levator scapulae that tighten from poor posture ("tech neck") and stress. This directly alleviates the muscular "pull" that refers pain to the head.
Bone Setting for Structural Alignment
When a headache is suspected to originate from the neck (cervicogenic), this becomes a key intervention. After a thorough assessment, our registered TCM practitioners may perform gentle, precise Bone Setting techniques to correct subtle misalignments in the cervical vertebrae, restoring proper joint mechanics and relieving nerve irritation that could trigger head pain. This addresses the structural root of the problem.
Prescribed Herbal Medicine
Key for long-term management and prevention. Your TCM practitioner creates a personalized formula for your specific pattern—whether to soothe the Liver (stress headaches), build Qi and Blood (deficiency headaches), or transform Phlegm-Damp ("foggy" headaches).
Self-Care for Headache Prevention
Acupressure for Quick Relief
Gently but firmly massage these points for 1–2 minutes:
- Protect Your Neck: Keep your neck warm and avoid sitting in direct drafts from air conditioners.
- Mind Your Diet: Identify and avoid your trigger foods. Reduce greasy, sugary foods and alcohol, especially with "Phlegm-Damp" type headaches.
- Prioritize Sleep: A consistent sleep schedule is crucial for preventing Qi and Blood deficiency and calming the Liver.
