Head Pain, Car Accidents and How Chiropractic Care Can Help

We manage many car accident cases in our Yakima office, and a common symptom we see in our patients is headache. Let's look at the root cause of headache after an accident and see how chiropractic can help. Chiropractic in Yakima can be very helpful for headache symptoms after a crash.

How Migraine Is Caused by Car Accidents and How Dr. Covington Can Help You

There are many different types of headache. Headache that's caused by a car crash, though, typically starts as tension or strain in the muscles of the neck. In a collision, the neck muscles can be torn, which causes inflammation and discomfort. These types of headache can be felt in different places, including the back of the head or even the temple.

Another common cause of headache after a collision that we see in our Yakima 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.
