We deal with many auto injury cases in our Lynnwood office, and a common symptom we see in our patients is headache. Why is headache such a common symptom after an auto injury? How can your chiropractor help you recover? Your chiropractor in Lynnwood can be very helpful for headache symptoms after a crash.
There are many different types of headache. Headache that's triggered by an auto collision, though, usually begins as tension or strain in the muscle tissue of the neck. In a collision, the neck muscles can be damaged, which results in swelling and pain. 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 Lynnwood 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 treatment for this type of problem to avoid the development of scar tissue.
Chiropractic Therapy is an excellent way to treat headaches, including those caused by car crashes. Your chiropractic doctor will help reduce the inflammation and stress in your neck, which will help help the headache pain.
You don't have to suffer from headache. Lifeplus Health Centers is conveniently located in Lynnwood to help you recover, whether you've been in an auto collision or not. 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. Call us today at (425) 775-2288 if you have questions or would like to make an appointment.
