Acupuncture can relieve migraine

After missing a big chunk of early spring training with migraine headaches and battling back stiffness for years, White Sox reliever Scott Linebrink has discovered his own relief acupuncture and Gua Sha.

“[Acupuncture] hasn’t eliminated the migraines, but it has made them more manageable and less frequent,” said Linebrink, who personally discovered the ancient Chinese remedy after his signing with the Sox.

“I’ll tell you what, it relaxes me more than a massage,” he said. “It’s a total body thing. I tell [the acupuncturist] what’s bothering me [so] he also does the back and shoulders.
