Headache and Car Accidents

Headache is a common symptom after an auto injury, and it's something that Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation sees frequently in our Harrisburg office. Let's look at why headache is commonly experienced after a car crash and see how chiropractic can help you heal.

There are many different kinds of headache. Headache that's triggered by an auto injury, though, usually starts as tension or strain in the muscles of the cervical spine. In a collision, the neck muscles can be damaged, which causes inflammation and discomfort. 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 Harrisburg 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 avoid the creation of scar tissue.

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

You don't have to suffer from headache. Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is conveniently located in Harrisburg to help you heal, whether you've been in an auto collision or not. Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation will first determine what's causing your pain and then work to restore your body to its natural functioning. Ready to make an appointment?
