Migraines for 30+ years – off migraine meds in 6 months

Started going to JasonBlalack 6 months ago for migraines that I’ve suffered for over 30 years. I’ve tried different treatments over the years but nothing worked. I wanted to get off the heavy duty migraine meds that I’d been taking. After 6 months of acupuncture every 3 weeks I am off the meds and just take a Tylenol and Advil as needed. In the past that never would have been enough. Highly recommend

Headaches resolved in 3–4 treatments

Jason is an outstanding acupuncturist and functional medicine practitioner! He was very helpful for my headaches. After 3 or 4 treatments and some Chinese Herbs I was good to go. Highly recommended you check him out for pain relief.

Migraines nearly eliminated without painkillers

Jason is excellent at what he does. He’s compassionate and very knowlegeable. I went to see him for liver problems, migraines, and menstrual problems. My biggest issue were the horrible migraines that I’ve been suffering with for years. I was looking for relief without pain killers and couldn’t be more happy with the results of Jason’s treatments. The acupunture and herbs got my body back on track and pretty much eliminated my migraines! I highly recommend him. He’s the best acupunturist I’ve been to and his prices are very reasonable.

Tension headaches resolved

Severe Tension Headaches which Pain Medication does not Resolve
Jason continues to be someone I trust to resolve my health issues. My current affliction is tension headaches which he resolved during my session and based on previous afflictions I know he will permanently resolve.

Migraines for 40+ years – headache-free for a month

Migraine in remission
I have suffered from vascular headaches (migraines) for over 40 years. Over that time I have had one to two headaches a week. I started acupuncture treatment in April and now I have been headache-free for about a month. I chose Jason because he was successful with another migraine patient. I can confirm that acupuncture can work for migraines!

Migraines for 50 years – and IBS

Migraines
I’ve had migraines for about 50 years, usually about once a week. I have tried many treatments but always treating the symptoms. Jason did a great sleuthing job with a variety of symptoms to zero in on the probable root problem. The first acupuncture treatment made a noticeable difference and I am looking forward with hope to continuing treatment. The root problem also explains my IBS symptoms of about 40 years so hope for that condition is a bonus.

Years of migraines after conventional medicine

I suffered for many hears from migraine headaches. After exhausting all conventional medicine and diagnostic testing I turned to acupuncture and Chinese medicine administered by Jason Blalack of Chautauqua Health in Boulder, Colorado. My headaches were of such a nature that when the headache came on I would get great pain in my neck and shoulders. The pain began to interfere with activities of daily life. I tried physical therapy and relaxation medications with no help. Narcotic pain medication would blur the pain but not really relieve the migraines. The new Imitrex type medication were not compatible with my high blood pressure. Jason was able to relieve my neck and shoulder pain in the very first treatment. He also gave me a tea mixture, which I took and with time and additional acupcunture treatments I was able to completely be free of the debilitating migraines. Today I will occasionally begin to get a migraine but I am able to relieve it with relaxation and ibuprofen. If I occasionally get the neck and shoulder pain a quick trip for a tune up with my wonderful acupuncture therapist will make me comfortable and happy. There are a lot of good therapists but Jason has a great knowledge of both Western medicine and Chinese medicine making him very good at his profession. He is a good listener and thus a good diagnostician. I would recommend Jason to anyone who is frustrated with his or her current treatment and is suffering from a chronic problem. I am an RN whose father and grandfather were physicians. I feel that Western medicine can benefit from the knowledge and wisdom of ancient Chinese herbal medication and acupuncture.

Splitting headache gone after one treatment

I woke up one morning around 4:00am with a splitting headache. I went in for an acupuncture appointment that afternoon. My headache had not gotten any better and I was feeling quite uncomfortable. After about 20 minutes of acupuncture my headache went from a 7/10 to a 1/10. After I left the office it was gone. It has been two weeks and it has not returned. I am so thankful there are solutions out there that don’t require taking drugs.
