Cluster headaches are a debilitating neurological condition that often consists of a persistent headache. Usually stabbing pain behind one eye, tearing, pain on one side of the head in clusters. Although they are a complex neurological disorder, they can be treated successfully with chiropractic neurological diagnosis and treatments. We look in depth at all sources of cluster headaches - joint, muscle, nerve and brain. We understand how each part of your brain and body integrate to form headaches, and we know how to restore function within these systems through neuroplasticity rehabilitation, chiropractic care, physical therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Is Chiropractic Neurology right for me?
We have excellent results with many cluster headache patients, using a combination of functional neurology, chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Our team of Occupational Therapists, Chiropractic Neurologists, Nurse Practitioners, Chiropractic Assistants, and friendly administative staff provide exceptional care along all levels of your problem.
Our Chiropractic Neurologists hold post-doctoral degrees in neurology. They have considerable training and experience in headache diagnosis and treatment and its related pathophysiology. Our doctors also have extensive training in dysautonomia (a major part of cluster headache), and fellowships in concussion/mild traumatic brain injury and also in vestibular rehabilitation (vertigo/dizziness). This specific combination of experience makes them a valuable asset on your journey to reduced cluster headache frequency and severity, and even symptom-free for some.
We specialize in treating difficult and complex cases, often having failed treatments through other endeavors. Our chiropractic neurology approach locates the root cause, looking in depth at all systems and their interactions through the complexities of the nervous system. Once we have located the problem(s), we then create a specific treatment plan to address and restore function to all of the involved structures and connections, creating complete restoration for the individual as symptoms abate.
In addition to our neurological rehabilitation, we also offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, both deep pressure with pure oxygen and mild pressure chambers with concentrated oxygen. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has shown tremendous healing effects on headache disorders. We've seen many miraculous recoveries with the help of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Our patients usually receive a combination of chiropractic neurology rehabilitation and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the fastest, complete healing and return you to healthier function.
Many cluster headache patients who have failed other treatments are successful with our comprehensive neuroplasticity approach that peers into the inner fabric of the neurology within the brain stem and spinal regions related to cluster headaches. Our extensive post-doctoral neurology training is interwoven into our treatments, engineered to treat the source of your migraines at all levels of dysfunction. Cluster headache symptoms may involve:
As Chiropractic Neurologists, we are leading experts in headaches. Not only are we extensively trained in neurology, orthopedics, physical therapy and rehabilitation, but we incorporate functional restoration, reintegrating all aspects of your dysfunction. Whether your injury is due to muscle, joint, nerve, brain, or likely a combination, our extensive, post-doctoral neurology education allows us to diagnose the true source of your headache pain and other symptoms. Our greater understanding of how your muscles, joints, nerves, and brain interact to form normal function enables us to locate the roots of dysfunction and design a specific treatment plan to treat your cluster headache dysfunction.
Our chiropractic neurologists are experts in all parts of your problem, incorporating a deep understanding of the spine, muscles, nerves and brain. We address not only the physical components of joints and muscles, but also the interconnections of our nerves and brain that create that majestic, integrated system that is you, allowing us to restore function to the most complex disorders and symptoms by reconnecting healthy communication and function. By utilizing the most effective, scientifically proven treatments we're able to enhance joint mobility, restore nerve signaling, reduce muscle tension, and create accurate brain mapping that is essential for normal, symptom-free function.
We look at all possible causes of cluster headaches - concussion, TBI, neck injury, whiplash, and genetic causes thta may have disrupted soft brain tissue and the wires (synapses) that connect them. Many symptoms patients experience are due to slow communication as a result of disrupted neuropathways within the brain. These neuropathways act as roads in our brain, carrying information accurately and quickly allowing us to execute proper function and experience life symptom-free. Our Functional Neurologists are experts in healing your migraine by locating the source of symptoms and addressing the disrupted neuropathways and their connections that occur as a result of the source of your migraine.
Our team evaluates dysfunction through sophisticated eye movement and balance (vestibular) testing that maps brain function, locating weaker ares and slow signaling that causes symptoms. How is this possible? Each eye movement relates to a specific part of the brain, allowing us to detect errors that we can trace back to find the origin of your symptoms and disrupted neuropathways. MRI's, CT and other testing only show pathology, not function. They show what HAS happened, not what IS happening. Our testing shows how well (or poorly) the brain is functioning (what IS happening). In addition, we perform tilt table testing that allows us to locate and understand exactly where the source of your autonomic dysfunction is, which is a major part of migraine dysfunction.
