Suffering from headaches and migraines is incredibly debilitating, and it's even more debilitating when these headaches and migraines are caused by a previous car accident. If you've been suffering from a headache or constant migraine after your car accident, you can find relief with the help of a chiropractor. A chiropractor is trained in recognizing the connection between the different systems of the body and the musculoskeletal system.
At Chiropractic Health and Wellness Center in Houston, TX, we're on a mission to help our clients find relief using the very best chiropractic care techniques available. This includes muscle massages, chiropractic adjustments, and other types of treatments to help you find relief from headaches and migraines.
What Causes Headache and Migraine Pain After a Car Accident?
If you've been involved in a car accident, then your body has undergone a significant traumatic event that has impacted it in one way or another. Whether a small or large accident, both of these can cause significant pain and injuries. One of the most serious (and common) is whiplash. Whiplash can cause headaches and migraine flareups following a car accident. Whiplash occurs due to the violent whipping motion of the neck during a car accident. This leads to the neck "whipping" and causes neck pain, headaches, dizziness, and even confusion. Stress due to your car accident, radiating neck and upper back pain and compressed occipital nerves due to muscle tension can all lead to headache and migraine pain after a car accident.
How Can a Chiropractor Treat My Headaches?
Our chiropractor will determine the root cause of your headache and migraine pain by conducting a full physical exam and imaging tests like x-rays. Using this information, they can determine if your pain is due to an issue such as a misaligned spine compressing surrounding nerves and tissues in the neck, muscle tension in the upper back, or whiplash injuries.
Our chiropractor will then use the proper treatment to alleviate pain, such as:
- Muscle massages to alleviate tension and stress in the upper back
- Chiropractic adjustments to help realign the spine, improve balance, and take pressure off surrounding nerves and tissues as well as improve posture
- Lifestyle changes to help reduce stress following a car accident, such as breathing techniques, can help reduce the prevalence of headaches
