CLUSTER HEADACHE
Any early headache requires further evaluation to rule out any potential pathological causes. Make an appointment with your primary care physician without delay if you are experiencing vomiting, nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, or disorientation in conjunction with a headache. Suppose you are dealing with persistent headaches and migraines. In that case, it is recommended that you visit a qualified Steven Payne Chiropractor to receive an assessment and a treatment plan so that you can start on the path to recovery.
