Peter G. Hanson M.D.

When a woman gets pregnant, the first advice she hears is to avoid even a simple aspirin or advil, and to not take so much as a glass of wine for nine months.  So what is she to  do when a headache strikes?  Having delivered over 1,000 babies in his career, Peter Hanson is no stranger to this problem.  The best solution is medical acupuncture; very powerful, yet not one side-effect to mother or baby. 

Acupuncture works by producing high levels of endorphine, along with the body’s own cortisone.  This combo fights pain, as well as the inflammation that causes the pain at a cellular level.  So acupuncture can get at the origins of a headache, and not just apply a “band-aid” solution for a few hours (like a pill would do).
