Headache is a common condition after an auto collision, and it's something that Robert C Slater, DC sees often in our Saint Paul, MN office. Let's look at the root cause of headache after an auto collision and see how chiropractic care can help.
There are many different types of headache. Headache that's caused by a car crash, though, typically begins as tension or strain in the muscle tissue of the cervical spine. In a crash, 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 temple.
Another frequent cause of pain after a crash that we see in our Saint Paul, MN 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 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. Robert C Slater, DC can help reduce the inflammation and strain in your neck, which will help relieve the headache pain.
