Expert Care for Cluster Headaches at Injury Doctors NYC
Cluster headaches are among the most severe types of headaches, often striking suddenly and causing excruciating pain around one eye or on one side of the head. If you are suffering from these debilitating headaches, the expert team at Injury Doctors NYC offers comprehensive cluster headache treatment tailored to your specific needs.
Understanding Cluster Headaches
Cluster headaches occur in cyclical patterns or "clusters," which can last for weeks or even months, followed by remission periods. Common symptoms include:
- Severe burning or piercing pain around one eye or temple
- Red, watery eyes
- Nasal congestion or runny nose
- Swelling around the affected eye
- Sensitivity to light and sound
These headaches can severely impact your daily life, making effective treatment essential.
