Headaches After a Car Accident

What Causes Headaches after an Auto Accident?

Auto accident can be extremely traumatic, leading to symptoms such as headaches, sore muscles, and even broken bones and other traumatic injuries. If you're suffering from headaches after an auto accident, chances are you've been affected by a condition known as whiplash. Whiplash occurs due to the "whipping" motion of the neck back-and-forth during a car accident. Headaches due to whiplash can be accompanied by other symptoms such as:

  • Dizziness
  • Neck pain
  • Upper back pain
  • Confusion
  • Sore muscles
  • Shoulder pain
  • Changes in mood or personality
  • Nausea or vomiting 

In addition to whiplash, other conditions that can cause headaches include a misaligned spine. If your spine has been taken out of alignment due to a car crash, this can lead to poor posture and headaches. Radiating neck pain and shoulder pain can also contribute to headaches.

How Can a Chiropractor Treat My Headaches?

Our chiropractor will conduct a full physical exam, ask questions about your headaches, their severity, and what makes them better (if anything). This physical assessment combined with imaging tests such as x-rays can help your chiropractor determine the root cause of your headaches, such as a misaligned spine, muscle tension, stress, or whiplash.

Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help realign the spine and alleviate your headaches. Muscle massages around the neck and upper back can also alleviate inflammation that can lead to headaches. Our chiropractor will also conduct follow-up care to ensure all chiropractic care is working to provide headache relief.
