Headache and Car Crashes

We treat many car accident cases in in our South Buffalo office, and a common symptom we see in our patients is headache. Why is headache such a common condition after an auto collision? How can chiropractic care help you heal?

There are many different types of headache. Headache that's caused by a car accident, though, typically begins as tension or strain in the muscles of the cervical spine. In a collision, the neck muscles can be torn, which causes swelling and discomfort. These kinds of headache can be felt in different places, including the back of the head or even the temple.

Another frequent cause of pain after a collision that we see in our South Buffalo 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 therapy for this type of problem to protect against the creation of scar tissue.

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

You don't have to suffer from headache. Dr. John Nowak is conveniently located in South Buffalo to help you recover, whether you've been in an auto collision or not. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis to determine what's causing your pain and then we will determine an appropriate treatment approach.
