We treat many car accident cases in our Alexandria office, and a standard symptom we see in our patients is headache. Let's look at the root cause of headache after a car crash and see how chiropractic can help. Chiropractic in Alexandria can be very helpful for headache symptoms after a crash.
There are many different types of headache. Headache that's triggered by a car crash, though, typically begins as tension or strain in the muscles of the neck. In a collision, the neck muscles can be damaged, which causes inflammation and soreness. These kinds of headache can be felt in different places, including the back of the head or even the forehead.
Another common cause of pain after a crash that we see in our Alexandria 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 therapy for this type of problem to protect against the development of scar tissue.
Chiropractic Treatment is an effective way to treat headaches, including those triggered by auto injuries. Your chiropractor will help reduce the swelling and stress in your neck, which will help reduce the headache pain.
If you've been injured in a car crash and you're struggling with headache, Dr. Wagner is here to help. 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. Ready to make an appointment?
