Headache, Auto Accident and How Chiropractic Care Can Help

We work with many auto injury cases in our Holtsville office, and a standard symptom we see in our patients is headache. Why is headache such a common problem after an auto collision? How can chiropractic care help you get better? Chiropractic in Holtsville can be very helpful for headache symptoms after a crash.

How Head Pain Is Caused by Car Crashes and How Dr. Cohen Can Help You

There are many different types of headache. Headache that's triggered by a car accident, though, typically starts as tension or strain in the muscles of the neck. In a crash, the neck muscles can be damaged, which results in swelling and soreness. These kinds 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 Holtsville 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 treatment for this type of problem to protect against the development of scar tissue.
