Headaches and Migraines Treated
by Car Accident Injury Chiropractors
Headaches and migraines are often overlooked results from a car accident injury. At our five Injury Chiropractic locations serving Phoenix, Glendale and Mesa, we often treat people who experienced low-speed accidents and later noticed more headache and migraine problems afterward. An auto injury can result in a headache, either from pinched nerves in the spine after an injury, or from head trauma. In either case, do not ignore these pains. Not only do we want to help you feel better, but a headache can actually indicate that there may be other auto accident injury problems that need attention from an experienced chiropractor.
Auto Injury Victims Suffer Headaches and Migraines
Every day throughout Phoenix, Mesa and Glendale, someone suffers an auto injury. While only the catastrophic ones make the news, hundreds of low-speed car accidents happen in which the victims, fortunately, are able to walk away. Later, however, these car accident injury victims notice problems. Even low-speed accidents can cause headaches and 
migraines. When you are rear ended, for example, your body is shoved in one direction, while your head is yanked in the other direction, causing the delicate neck to bear the brunt of numerous soft-tissue injures and vertebral misalignments. These soft tissue injuries, not to mention the nerves pinched when vertebrae are out of alignment, can actually cause an increase in headache incidence. Even blood supply to the brain can be affected, which can give rise to a migraine. In fact, these two conditions are very common symptoms of whiplash.
So if you have recently suffered a car accident injury and notice that your headache or migraine situation has worsened, it is critical not to ignore these symptoms. When you come in to any one of Injury Chiropractic’s five locations for help, we will give you a thorough examination and listen to you as you explain what happened during your auto accident injury. Our goal is to find out exactly where your headache or migraine problems comes from so that we can address the root cause for fast, long-term pain relief.
Generally, we discover that our patients’ headache and migraine problems stem from misalignments in the neck vertebrae or from tension and pain due to soft tissue injuries to the muscles, ligaments and tendons. These are very common auto injury conditions. We work to relieve them through precise, gentle spinal adjustments that help realign the vertebrae in the neck and the back so that pinched nerves are released. This can lead to dramatic pain relief on its own. We also use several physiotherapy techniques and treatments designed to help restore strength, flexibility and normal function to injured muscles. This helps keep the vertebrae in place and can also prevent a headache or migraine from ruining your day in the first place.
Our goal is to help you stop suffering, so call us today for an appointment at 623-748-7870.
