Headaches Resulting From Automobile Accidents

People injured during a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) often complain of headaches. Post-traumatic headaches, not only need careful investigation, these need regular visit to a doctor or you can also visit to chiropractor as they are experienced in treating auto accident cases. These cause

But what causes these headaches? The reason in case of low-impact rear-end collision is the violent whipping of neck back and forth. The consequent headaches may be felt even after few days post-injury. In case of a high-impact collision, these headaches erupt when your head strikes steering wheel, window or any other hard surface of the car.

Are there common symptoms of post-traumatic headaches? Depending upon the severity of accident, a post-traumatic headache may come with symptoms for instance; tenderness is neck or shoulder, pain in the head, and sensation of soreness or pressure on the forehead and back side of the head.

Now, there’re a number of headache types that a person might experience after an accident, ranging from tension-type headache to chronic facial; headache, to cervicothoracic to vascular headache.
