We treat many car accident cases in our Burton office, and a typical symptom we see in our patients is headache. Why is headache such a common condition after a car accident? How can your chiropractor help you heal? Chiropractic care in Burton can be very helpful for headache symptoms after a crash.
There are many different types of headache. Headache that's triggered by an auto injury, though, typically 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 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 headache after a collision that we see in our Burton 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 therapy for this type of problem to protect against the creation of scar tissue.
Chiropractic Treatment is an excellent way to treat headaches, including those triggered by auto injuries. Your chiropractor will help reduce the swelling and tension in your neck, which will help relieve the headache pain.
