After 11 years of migraine, I am finally free

In this video I briefly explain what the piercing is about, and here on this page I tell you my story. :)

Healthcare has been part of my whole life.

Ever since I was a child I wanted a profession where I could help people.

I was a very sickly little girl and spent a lot of time in hospital, and when the time came to choose, it became clearer and clearer to me that I wanted to work in healthcare, helping and caring for those in need.

One healthcare school followed another – specialist nurse, graduate nurse, and then I earned a university nursing degree at the University of Pécs Medical School.

The central topic of my university thesis was “psychosomatic conditions”, which was very closely linked to research into the causes of headaches.

I spent more than 20 years in the cardiology unit of the internal medicine department at Nagykanizsa hospital, as a nurse, a specialist nurse and then a ward sister. My family and I moved to Budapest so our children could continue their studies, but without leaving healthcare behind I taught medical subjects (anatomy and physiology, orthopaedics, dermatology, internal medicine) at several vocational schools, and I still do.

I have given talks at several conferences and have had articles published in professional journals.

I grew up with migraine.

“There were times an ambulance took me to hospital.”

The migraine periods started in my childhood and have accompanied me all my life. Working in healthcare, I went through every examination, but no physical cause was found for my headaches.

We had 2 sons from my marriage, and unfortunately my elder son inherited the tendency to migraine. I always thought a lot about the cause of the headaches; I watched the symptoms, what might trigger them and what eased them, and kept a headache diary, but unfortunately I couldn’t find a connection between the headache cycles.

There were periods when 2–3 months went by with me struggling with the pain every single day.

I tried every medicine that can relieve headaches, but none of them was really effective – they only relieved the symptom.

2 years ago an ambulance took me to hospital 3 times after I lost consciousness, caused by a very severe migraine attack. Of course, examinations were carried out here too.

That is when I decided that it couldn’t go on like this and that I had to find the solution!

On a friend’s suggestion, in final desperation, I decided to try the migraine piercing.

I really started to feel its effect in the 2nd–3rd week. The headaches did still come in the first months, but I hardly had to take any medicine – they eased by themselves. I simply couldn’t believe it!

As time passed the pain came less and less often, and today headaches very rarely appear, and when they do the symptoms are mild.

My elder son’s headaches were of a different kind. He got real migraines every 2–3 months, when the headache is followed by vomiting and only a dark room and sleep can help. He came along with me to the piercing, but I talked him into it, and today he is completely symptom-free too.

That is when I decided that I wanted to help others too!

I opened my migraine piercing centre

Budapest – in the heart of the city on the Danube bank, near Jászai Mari tér – and in Sopron on Füredi Oszkár sétány I opened my Medical Piercing studios, where my team and I help, every day, every migraine sufferer who, like me, is close to giving up.

More than 2,000 people book an appointment with us every month, and you can’t imagine how much the positive feedback from our guests energises us. That’s why we do it every day, and our committed goal is to help you too! Read on on this page and get to know the Medical Piercing team, and if you have decided to give the migraine piercing a chance, I look forward to welcoming you in Budapest or Sopron Book now >>

It helped all of us.

The Medical Piercing team is made up of former healthcare workers who all have the wellbeing piercings to thank for feeling well today. Since each of us became symptom-free after our first piercing, we believe so strongly in how effective the piercings are that we decided this is all we want to do.

Alongside our healthcare experience, we have completed Acupiercing training and are also skilled in ear acupuncture for addiction.

Ear acupuncture is a profession

Our founder and professional lead Gabriella Kovács, a graduate nurse with 20 years of healthcare experience, ear acupuncture addiction specialist, recovered from migraine. During her nursing training she gained thorough knowledge of anatomy and hygiene, and she has given talks on healthcare topics several times.

As Medical Piercing’s professional lead, Gabi is responsible for the high standard of service and also works as a piercer herself. Her tireless commitment to the highest level of professionalism and hygiene is plain to see in the Medical Piercing practices, which are regarded in Hungary as pioneers of quality and expertise.

Helping people has always been our calling and close to our hearts, so when you visit us you can expect the greatest empathy and kindness.

Our piercings are outstandingly effective: based on our guests’ feedback, they work for 93%, i.e. they have a positive effect.
