Headache, Auto Injury and How Chiropractic Care Can Help

We deal with many car crash cases in our Ronkonkoma office, and a typical symptom we see in our patients is headache. If you are suffering from headache after an auto collision, don't worry. Dr. Priolo sees this type of problem frequently in our Ronkonkoma office. Your chiropractor in Ronkonkoma can be very helpful for headache symptoms after a crash.

How Headache Is Caused by Car Accidents and How Dr. Priolo Can Help You

There are many different kinds of headache. Headache that's caused by a car crash, though, usually starts as tension or strain in the muscle tissue of the cervical spine. In a collision, the neck muscles can be torn, which results in swelling and pain. These kinds 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 Ronkonkoma office is cervicogenic headache, or headaches that originate in injured ligaments of the neck. Ligament injury is quite common after a crash, and it's important to get care for this type of problem to prevent the development of scar tissue.
