Headache and Car Crashes

If you are dealing with headache after an auto injury, don't despair. Dr. Michael Wagner D.C. sees this type of problem frequently in our Alexandria, KY office. Let's look at the root cause of headache after an accident and see how chiropractic can help.

There are many different kinds 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 results in inflammation 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 crash that we see in our Alexandria, KY 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 development of scar tissue.

Chiropractic is an effective way to treat headaches, including those caused by auto injuries. Dr. Michael Wagner D.C. can help reduce the irritation and strain in your neck, which will help alleviate the headache pain.
