What role can chiropractic care play in managing cluster headaches?
Cluster headaches are a neurological condition characterized by severe, recurring head pain, often accompanied by symptoms such as eye watering, nasal congestion, or facial pressure. While they are not caused by spinal issues alone, research shows that the nervous system, posture, and musculoskeletal health can influence headache patterns and symptom severity.
Chiropractic care focuses on improving spinal alignment and mobility, particularly in the cervical (neck) region, which is closely connected to the nervous system. Restricted movement, joint dysfunction, or muscle tension in this area may contribute to nerve irritation, altered blood flow, or increased stress responses in the body.
By addressing these factors, chiropractic care may help:
• Reduce neck and upper back tension
• Improve nervous system communication
• Support better posture and biomechanics
• Decrease physical stress that can act as a trigger for some individuals
Chiropractic care is not a cure for cluster headaches, but it can be a supportive, non-invasive approach used alongside medical management to promote overall neurological and musculoskeletal health.
If you or someone you love struggles with cluster headaches, chiropractic care can be a supportive, drug-free option to explore alongside your healthcare provider. Every case is different, but taking a whole-body approach can make a meaningful difference. 💙
