Dr. Grace Rollins, DAc and colleague Rosanna Giuliani, LAc from our Chester County sister clinic Inner Light Wellness Acupuncture will be presenting at this year’s Mind Your Brain Foundation conference on March 21st in Philadelphia, with a talk titled “Put a Pin in It: Acupuncture Mechanisms and Treatment Options for Chronic Post Traumatic Headache.”

Chronic post-traumatic headache (CPTH) affects up to 60% of individuals following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and significantly impacts quality of life. Despite this prevalence, effective treatments—particularly non-pharmacologic options—remain limited.

Acupuncture has demonstrated benefit for migraines, headaches, and chronic pain, yet research focused specifically on CPTH has been scarce. A recent pilot study published in the Journal of Neurotrauma showed promising results for acupuncture in CPTH management.

This session reviews the evidence base and mechanisms of acupuncture for pain, trauma, and functional neurological disorders, highlights key findings from the CPTH study, and discusses how these insights inform treatment frequency and course planning.

The target audience for the talk is TBI and concussion survivors and caregivers. To register and find out more about the conference, visit this link.
