Headache and Car Accidents

Headache is a common problem after an auto collision, and it's something that Back Pain Chiropractic sees often in our Texarkana office. Let's take a look at why headache is commonly experienced after an auto collision and see how chiropractic can help you heal.

There are many different kinds of headache. Headache that's triggered by a car accident, though, usually begins as tension or strain in the muscles of the cervical spine. In a crash, the neck muscles can be damaged, which causes inflammation and soreness. These types of headache can be felt in different places, including the back of the head or even the temple.

Another common cause of headache after a collision that we see in our Texarkana office is cervicogenic headache, or headaches that originate 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 prevent the creation of scar tissue.

Chiropractic care is an effective way to treat headaches, including those brought about by car crashes. Back Pain Chiropractic can help reduce the irritation and tension in your neck, which will help relieve the headache pain.

Let us help you recover from headache. Back Pain Chiropractic has helped many patients with the same condition, and we can probably help you, too.
