Headache and Auto Injury

We work with many auto injury cases in in our Hauppauge, Long Island, NY office, and a widespread symptom we see in our patients is headache. The key to recovering from headache caused by a crash is to understand the root cause of the problem and how chiropractic care can help.

There are many different types of headache. Headache that's caused by an auto injury, though, typically begins as tension or strain in the muscles of the neck. In a wreck, the neck muscles can be torn, which causes swelling and discomfort. These types 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 Hauppauge, Long Island, NY office is cervicogenic headache, or headaches that start in injured ligaments of the neck. Ligament injury is quite 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 effective way to treat headaches, including those triggered by car crashes. Your chiropractor will help reduce the swelling and strain in your neck, which will help relieve the headache pain.
