If you have headache after an auto collision, don't despair. Dr. Robert Ramsey sees this type of condition very often in our Gresham, OR office. Let's look at the root cause of headache after a car accident and see how your chiropractor can help.
There are many different kinds of headache. Headache that's triggered by an auto collision, though, typically begins as tension or strain in the muscles of the neck. In a wreck, the neck muscles can be torn, which causes swelling and soreness. These types 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 crash 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 protect against the development of scar tissue.
Chiropractic care is an effective way to treat headaches, including those caused by auto injuries. Your chiropractor will help reduce the inflammation and tension in your neck, which will help alleviate the headache pain.
If you've been injured in a car crash and you're suffering from headache, Dr. Robert Ramsey 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 plan of action.
