Headache Treatment
Headaches After a Car Accident — MD Chiropractor
Post-accident headaches are common and often misunderstood. Our DCs identify the source and provide targeted treatment backed by thorough medical documentation.
Understanding Your Injury
What It Is
Headaches following an auto accident are typically cervicogenic — originating from injured cervical spine joints, muscles, and nerves — or post-concussive. They may begin immediately or develop hours to days after the collision.
Treating post-accident headaches promptly is important: cervicogenic headaches often resolve well with chiropractic care, but the window for optimal treatment and clear documentation is early in the recovery process.
Signs & Symptoms
What You May Be Experiencing
Tension-Type Headaches
Pressure or tightness across the forehead and sides of the head, often linked to upper trapezius and cervical muscle tension after impact.
Cervicogenic Headaches
One-sided headaches originating from the cervical spine, typically felt at the base of the skull and radiating forward.
Post-Concussive Symptoms
Persistent headache, brain fog, light sensitivity, and dizziness following head trauma during a collision.
Our Approach
How We Treat It
Our DCs assess cervical joint mobility, muscle tension patterns, and neurological status to determine the headache type and source. Cervicogenic headaches respond well to upper cervical manipulation and soft tissue therapy targeting the suboccipital region.
We document all headache-related findings thoroughly, including onset timeline, frequency, severity, and treatment response — all essential for your personal injury claim.
