Headache and Car Crashes

If you have headache after a car accident, don't worry. Dr. Jane Steffen Bye sees this type of condition very often in our Shoreview, MN office. Let's look at the root cause of headache after an accident and see how chiropractic care can help.

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

Another frequent cause of headache after a crash that we see in our Shoreview, 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 prevent the creation of scar tissue.

Chiropractic is an excellent way to treat headaches, including those triggered by car crashes. Dr. Jane Steffen Bye can help reduce the irritation and strain in your neck, which will help relieve the headache pain.

If you've been injured in a car crash and you're struggling with headache, Dr. Jane Steffen Bye is here to help.
