    Cluster headaches

    Cluster headaches are among the most painful conditions a person can experience — intense, recurring attacks often described as a burning or stabbing pain around one eye. Their neurological causes are complex and they typically require specialist medical management. Virginia works as a complementary support — addressing any spinal and cervical tension that may be contributing — alongside your existing medical treatment.

    How ASMI works

    What you might notice

    • Severe, sudden pain centred around one eye
    • Watering or redness of the affected eye
    • Nasal congestion or runny nose on the affected side
    • Attacks lasting 15 minutes to 3 hours, often at the same time of day
    • Restlessness or agitation during an attack

    How Virginia can help

    • Addresses cervical spine and upper back tension that may aggravate cluster headache patterns
    • Very gentle sessions calibrated to avoid triggering attacks
    • Works alongside your neurologist or GP, not instead of them
    • A calm, low-stimulation environment appropriate for headache conditions
    • Supportive care between cluster periods to maintain spinal health

    Frequently asked questions

    Is spinal therapy an effective treatment for cluster headaches?
    Cluster headaches have a complex neurological basis and require specialist medical management. Spinal therapy is not a primary treatment but may provide supportive benefit by reducing cervical tension. Virginia will be honest about what she can and cannot offer.
    Should I come during a cluster period?
    This depends on your individual situation. During active cluster periods some people find gentle treatment helpful; others find it better to wait until the period ends. Virginia will discuss this with you and plan accordingly.
    What medical treatment should I have alongside spinal therapy?
    Cluster headaches should be managed by a GP or neurologist who can prescribe appropriate medications. Virginia will not advise on medical treatment but is happy to work alongside whatever care you are already receiving.
