Headache is a common symptom after a car accident, and it's something that Dr. John Nowak sees often in our Buffalo office. Why is headache such a common symptom after a car crash? How can your chiropractor help you recover?
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 neck. In a collision, the neck muscles can be torn, which causes 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 pain after a collision that we see in our Buffalo office is cervicogenic headache, or headaches that originate in injured ligaments of the neck. Ligament injury is very common after a crash, and it's important to get treatment for this type of problem to prevent the creation of scar tissue.
Chiropractic care is an excellent way to treat headaches, including those triggered by auto injuries. Your chiropractor will help reduce the inflammation and tension in your neck, which will help relieve the headache pain.
If you've been injured in a car crash and you're struggling with headache, Dr. John Nowak is here to help.
