Headache and Car Crashes

If you are suffering from headache after a car accident, you're not alone. Select Health and Wellness sees this type of problem frequently in our Jacksonville and Fleming Island, FL office. Chiropractic care is an excellent way to treat headache. Let's look at how headache is caused by a crash and how Select Health and Wellness can help you.

There are many different kinds of headache. Headache that's triggered by an auto injury, though, typically starts as tension or strain in the muscles of the neck. In a collision, the neck muscles can be torn, which causes inflammation and discomfort. These types of headache can be felt in different places, including the back of the head or even the temple.

Another common cause of pain after a collision that we see in our Jacksonville and Fleming Island, FL 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 prevent the creation of scar tissue.

Chiropractic care is an effective way to treat headaches, including those caused by car crashes. Your chiropractor will help reduce the swelling and strain in your neck, which will help ease the headache pain.
