If you are suffering from headache after an auto collision, don't despair. Chiropractic Healing Hands For You sees this type of problem frequently in our Portland office. Let's look at the root cause of headache after an accident and see how your chiropractor can help.
There are many different kinds of headache. Headache that's triggered by an auto injury, though, usually begins as tension or strain in the muscle tissue of the cervical spine. In a wreck, the neck muscles can be torn, which results in swelling and pain. These kinds of headache can be felt in different places, including the back of the head or even the forehead.
Another common cause of headache after a crash that we see in our Portland office is cervicogenic headache, or headaches that start in injured ligaments of the neck. Ligament injury is quite common after a crash, and it's important to get care for this type of problem to avoid the creation of scar tissue.
Chiropractic is an effective way to treat headaches, including those caused by car crashes. Your chiropractic doctor will help reduce the irritation and tension in your neck, which will help alleviate the headache pain.
