HOW CAN PT RELIEVE MY CLUSTER HEADACHES?
Physical therapy isn’ t normal ly someone’s first thought when they have a headache - most of the time, the common reaction is to take some form of pain-relieving medication. This may help to relieve pain in the short- term, but if you are constantly suffering from headaches, pain relief drugs will not provide you with the same long- term effects that physical therapy will.
Since there are some environmental factors associated wi th cluster headaches, your physical therapist may also suggest lifestyle changes to help prevent the headaches from occurring. This may include increasing exercise or cutting out alcohol and/ or cigarettes. Your physical therapist can also provide you with stress relief exercises to try and avoid stressful situations that may cause your cluster headaches, or the adoption of additional healthy lifestyle choices, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule or implementing a more nutritious diet.
