Headache and Car Accidents

Headache is a common symptom after an auto injury, and it's something that Dr. John Nowak sees often in our Buffalo office. Let's see why headache is frequently experienced after an auto injury and see how chiropractic can help you recover.

There are many different types of headache. Headache that's caused by an auto collision, though, typically starts as tension or strain in the muscle tissue of the neck. In a crash, the neck muscles can be damaged, which results in swelling and discomfort. These kinds of headache can be felt in different places, including the back of the head or even the forehead.

Another common cause of pain after a crash that we see in our Buffalo office is cervicogenic headache, or headaches that start in injured ligaments of the neck. Ligament injury is very common after a crash, and it's important to get care for this type of problem to protect against the creation of scar tissue.

Chiropractic is an excellent way to treat headaches, including those triggered by car crashes. Dr. John Nowak can help reduce the swelling and tension in your neck, which will help alleviate the headache pain.

If you've been hurt in a car crash and you're struggling with headache, Dr. John Nowak is here to help. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis to determine what's causing your symptoms and then we will determine an appropriate treatment plan of action. Ready to make an appointment?
