How Head Pain Is Caused by Auto Accident and How Dr. Jerrad Swanson DC, FMT, DN1 Can Help You

There are many different types of headache. Headache that's triggered by an auto injury, though, usually starts as tension or strain in the muscle tissue of the neck. 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 common cause of headache after a crash that we see in our Lincoln 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 therapy for this type of problem to prevent the development of scar tissue.
