Migraines & headaches · Lindenhurst, NY
When headaches keep interrupting your week, acupuncture is a calm, personalized way to look for what's behind them.
Looking for patterns
Two people with the same diagnosis can have very different headaches. One starts in tight shoulders. Another follows poor sleep, a stressful week or a hormonal cycle. That's why your first visit spends real time on your history before any needles are placed.
Acupuncture is often used with the aim of reducing how often headaches happen and how much they get in the way. Points may be placed on the head, neck, hands and feet, depending on your pattern.
Headaches are one of the concerns Brianna Del Vecchio is most passionate about treating. She can also bring in massage or cupping for neck and shoulder tension when it's part of the picture.
What we look at
Recurring attacks, with or without aura, often with triggers worth tracking together.
A tight band around the head, often linked to the neck, jaw and shoulders.
Headaches that build through a hard week and ease once you can finally relax.
Patterns tied to poor rest or to changes during your monthly cycle.

With Brianna
Your first visit
Your 60-minute initial visit covers how often you get headaches, likely triggers, past treatments and your medications.
Fine, single-use needles are placed and you rest quietly. Many people find this part deeply relaxing.
45-minute follow-ups keep your progress consistent, and the plan changes as your pattern changes.
We'll look at how often your headaches come and how strong they are, so you can see whether treatment is helping.
Keep taking any medication your doctor has prescribed unless they tell you otherwise. Get emergency care for a sudden, severe headache, or a headache with weakness, confusion, trouble speaking, vision loss, fever or a stiff neck.
First-timer's view
“I tried acupuncture for the first time and was not nervous at all.”
Brianna is very professional, considerate, and makes you feel absolutely comfortable and relaxed! I tried acupuncture for the first time and was not nervous at all. She is a natural at her work, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of wellness treatment. I will definitely be going back regularly for massages and will continue acupuncture sessions.
