How Head Pain Is Caused by Car Accidents and How Dr. Swanson Can Help You

There are many different kinds of headache. Headache that's caused by an auto collision, though, typically 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 soreness. 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 Texarkana, Atlanta 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.
