Headache is a common symptom after a car crash, and it's something that Dr. Robert Ramsey sees frequently in our Gresham, OR office. Chiropractic care is an effective way to treat headache. Let's look at how headache is caused by a crash and how Dr. Robert Ramsey can help you.
There are many different kinds of headache. Headache that's triggered by a car accident, though, typically begins as tension or strain in the muscles of the cervical spine. In a crash, the neck muscles can be torn, which results in inflammation and pain. These kinds of headache can be felt in different places, including the back of the head or even the temple.
Another frequent cause of headache after a collision that we see in our Gresham, OR office is cervicogenic headache, or headaches that originate in injured ligaments of the neck. Ligament injury is very common after a crash, and it's important to get care for this type of problem to avoid the creation of scar tissue.
Chiropractic care is an effective way to treat headaches, including those caused by car crashes. Your chiropractic doctor will help reduce the inflammation and tension in your neck, which will help ease the headache pain.
