Gabriella Kovács, founder of Medical Piercing, at work

I tried everything for migraine, but in vain...

Do you struggle with headaches that often strike you in agonising attacks?

Do you wake up in the morning more tired than when you went to bed, because during the night you once again woke up feeling as if your head was splitting, and couldn’t get back to sleep for hours?

Do you feel weather fronts in your temples / the back of your head, and everything you have tried has only brought temporary improvement?

You are in the best place. Gabriella Kovács , I have had migraines since childhood, and for 3 years I have been completely symptom-free. With 20 years of healthcare experience, I founded MedicalPiercing, where with my team every month I help nearly 2,000 people achieve a better quality of life.

Migraine accompanied me throughout my life.

There were periods when 2–3 months went by in which I struggled with the pain every single day.

I tried every method suitable for relieving headaches – steroids, triptans, massage, ice packs, cooling caps, gels – but none of them was really effective, or they only relieved the symptoms.

4 years ago, an ambulance took me to hospital 3 times after I lost consciousness, which was caused by a very severe migraine attack. Of course, I was examined thoroughly, but they found nothing.

I spent more than 20 years in the cardiology section of the Internal Medicine department of Nagykanizsa hospital, as a nurse, a specialist nurse and then as a ward manager nurse. I taught medical subjects (anatomy – physiology, orthopaedics, dermatology, internal medicine) and I still teach them at several vocational schools.

With a healthcare mindset, I found it very hard to accept that I couldn’t find a solution to my own problem.

...In the end, this tiny little piece of jewellery freed me from my headaches.

The attacks became less frequent, and then stopped completely...

On a friend’s suggestion, in my final desperation, I decided to try the Migraine piercing. I began to really feel its effect in the 3rd week. The headaches did still come in the first months, but their intensity simply stopped at one level.

It was as if something had held the pain back.

The months went by and the attacks became less frequent, then stopped completely, and I could hardly believe it. I also had my sons try the migraine piercing, and they experienced the same.

That was when I decided to start researching and learning about wellbeing piercings and to devote my Life to it. After several months of preparation and the similar experiences of many of my friends, I founded the Medical Piercing naturopathic practice, where today we help nearly 2,000 people who turn to us every month.

In brief

How the migraine piercing works

The basis of the effect of the migraine piercing is that it is located at a point of the ear that is connected to certain nerves, especially the vagus nerve and the trigeminal nerve.

These nerves play a role in pain perception, so the continuous pressure of the piercing may have a positive effect on migraine headaches. Although the migraine piercing does not count as acupuncture, similarly to acupuncture, stimulating this area of the ear may stimulate the production of the body’s natural painkilling substances (for example β-endorphins) and may inhibit the transmission of pain signals.

According to research, this type of stimulation may affect the pain-processing areas of the brain, thereby reducing the intensity of migraines.

93% of our guests report less frequent and milder headaches, or that they have stopped completely.

The placement only takes a few seconds

After the anaesthetic, you will only feel a tiny prick and the placement is already done. Our device-assisted point location, our ear acupuncture experience and our healthcare background guarantee you that the migraine piercing will definitely be placed in the right spot, so that it will produce the maximum effect.

Placing a migraine piercing carries no medical risk; it is true that it heals more slowly, but you will get all the aftercare help from us, and we also provide you with free check-ups. Watch the video of the piercing!
